Thanks for addressing these issues.

I'm afraid that running a desktop without 64bit support is very
limiting wrt memorry. On the other hand without 32bit support legacy
binary applications won't run.

Either way, I trashed the system where I tried this because the
Windows 3D drivers broke, and Virtualbox does not accept tablet input
on Windows so is totally unusable anyway regardless of 3D support.

Thanks
