On Itanium, yes. On Intel, no.

Pete the Itanium is an Intel CPU :-)

Nope no way, I wish there was HPUX version for X86 systems.

You could try to buy a low priced workstation on ebay.

Pete,

Itanium is Intel.

But Pete is right, Hp-ux will not run on Intel's Intel, nor anything other than HP's PA-RISC or HP/Intel's Itanium.

And of course, HP-ux will only run on HP built Itanium boxes.

C'mon guys, I know Itanium is Intel - I was distinguishing between it and x86.

You're a New Yorker and I know where you grew up :-)

Like Gallagher once said, why don't they just combine those states in New England? And what's with Rhode Island?
