Hi John, Are those machines core 2 duo machines? If so then they support 64bit and Wubi would use the 64bit if available (it queries the chip itself to ask if it has 64bit support) Reading through the FAQ on the Wubi site (http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php) " Why is the AMD64 version of Ubuntu getting downloaded and installed? You probably have a 64 bit machine, the 64AMD installation is appropriate for all 64 bit architectures whether AMD or Intel. Can I force Wubi to download and install a 32 bit version of Ubuntu? Yes, either pre-download the appropriate 32 bit ISO manually and place it in the same folder as Wubi.exe or start Wubi with the "--32bit" argument." So you can force Wubi to download the 32bit version by going start -> run then browsing to where you downloaded wubi and then putting --32bit outside of the speechmarks. Or you can download the 32bit cd image yourself and place it in the same directory as wubi. Hope that helps, -Matt Daubney
