There's no such thing as a hybrid system. Multilib is what you need to

1) Wine is 32-bit
2) Walter had a

OK Mark and Neil. I got the picture. I'll flush
this out as I do seem to still have some
32bit apps on the 64bit AMD systems. Most likely

Hybrid runs on either 32-bit or 64-bit hardware.

It's not a hybrid in that sense, it's a dual boot DVD with 32 bit and 64
bit software. You choose whether to boot a 32 bit or 64 bit system each
time.
