Unless I misunderstand the point you're making, Pentium 3's, as well as older Pentium 4's & Xeon's were all 32-bit x86 processors. 64-bit was only supported starting with next-gen Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron D, Dual Core as well as the newer Core i[3,5,7], Core 2 Duo, Atom, etc, etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit. Since I personally have a couple of older Celeron's & P4's lying around, 32bit is definitely still important. P.
