Is it practical and beneficial to draw some line in the sand around "marginal"
or "not supported", even if i686 hardware has 2GB RAM, and at least 10GB free
space on the drive? Or is it literally anything i686 ought to work? (Allowing that maybe
wireless might not work, or it may be slow due to no hardware 3D acceleration and just
plain being really old.)
There is nothing that requires x86_64 to work. If you have a single
core i686 without SSE2 and no hardware accelerated graphics (that is
new enough to not be blacklisted) things will be slow. But crashes are
*not* expected just because you are running i686 also wireless has
nothing x86_64 specific either.
