    6.1 patches. This should work on any of the 64 bit capable hardware, P4 or later.

    The only way you can download 6.1 is if you have a paid contract with IBM and then there is a website
    where you may be able to download an ISO image. Anytime you need the base level filesets (those ending in 0 such as 6.1.3.0) I have found it much easier to get CDs from IBM. Once you have base levels, you can download
    all the patches you want.
