Specifically I meant I didn't know which CPUs WERE 64 bit. Core Duo? 
Quad Core? I was pretty sure the new Xeons were. And what happens if you 
boot a 64 bit distro on a 32 bit machine? Work but not optimal? 32 on a 
64 works I know. We ran out of 32 bit cd's and had a pile of Ubuntu for 
64s which is where the whole "what exactly will this work on" discussion 
came from.
