This is not SO dumb, since there are several problems with "amd64" which
do not appear in "i386" (think of flashplugin and I have some problems
with OOo under amd64)
Since Dell WANT to sell the Laptop WITH GNU/Linux, they have to choose
the distribution and ARCHITECTURE which work perfectly from scratch
which is in there case definitivly NOT "amd64".
