My ubderstanding is that all of the 'core' series support 32-bit

Some other 64-bit systems will too, like AMD.
'duo' refers to the number of cores on the die.
Yep. And if you look at /proc/cpuinfo and see the "lm" flag your
processor is capable of 64-bit. I already checked this P4 to see if
it could. No "lm" flag. :-(
I had to really hunt for that 32-bit/64-bit flag.
I gotta answer this. I would be called a traitor by all my friends in
Rio Rancho, NM where the Intel plant is located, if I went with AMD. ;-)
Actually, I think AMD and Intel processors are very much compatible with
one another as far as software goes. For a while, I ran an AMD computer,
and it was much faster than the Intel version with the same speed. Not
so sure now though. I did order an Intel MB this time around.
