Hmm. That's the first I've heard of 32-bit x86 processors in ages. All of the 
ones that I've seen or heard about for quite a while have been x86_64, even if 
they're running 32-bit Windows. The only 32-bit processors that I've heard 
about are ARM processors. I guess that I don't pay enough attention to that 
sort of stuff.
