Though I did misinterpret your original statement as saying you need an AMD 64 bit processor to run it. I apologise. That said, you make it sound like a 64 bit operating system needs an x86-64 compatible processor to run. There are other 64bit technologies out there. Though it is unlikely any of us would be buying them :)

I would love to run 64-bit Linux on POWER or SPARC hardware. It just doesn't exist at desktop prices (except consoles obviously)
You can run 64-bit Windows on IA-64 (Itanium) too, but again...
