What is the situation for x86_64 processors running in 32bit mode? Is
it advantageous for Athlon64 32bit people to install the i686-smp kernel
today? (yes there are good reason for me to be using 32bit on my
Athlon64)
should work just fine, though I've not done a 32bit install on x86-64
for a long time (probably FC2 era).
