I know what Athlon 64 means. I use AMD CPU-s for a long-long years. I used
x64 systems too but I think x86 systems gives  me more compatibility with
any softwares so I stayed here. Also I know Linux systems are able to
manage more than 4 GByte of RAM with x86.

So if there is a suitable solution for me, I'd like to stay with x86
systems more.
