32 bit, since the Pentium is only a 32bit processor.

There is a port for the new Intel IA64 procs, but it won't be out
until sometime after the processors ship.  Sun is definitely dedicated
to support of Solaris on Intel.

On a Sparc processor, you can select 32 or 64 bit for 64 bit
processors (arch Sun4u or UltraSPARC processors).

no 64bit mode on Intel unless things have changed.

Overall his advice works well - and a lot of is common sense (how to
disable rc files, touch .netrc; touch .rhosts; chmod 000 .netrc .rhosts
etc... - which daemons can be safely disabled, CDE, nfs etc...)

The last time I tried it (a couple of years ago) I believe the ndd
parameters worked fine.

The additions to /etc/system worked fine too.
