Clustering between different CPU Architectures -- sql server clustering

I have a Sql Server 2005 Instance that I would like to use in a cluster, but
I do not have another IA64 machine to cluster against. Can I cluster this
server against a x86 or a x64? I realize the performance will be different
between the two, but it is acceptible in this condition.

Thanks

If by 'cluster it', you meant failover clustering, this is not supported, and
I don't think you can do it (I have never tried). If you go through all the
trouble to achieve HA with clustering, you really should do it properly.
