The first NX-capable CPUs on the AMD side were Athlon 64 and P4 for
Intel, right?
Does that mean that we need to support 32-bit installations on 64-bit
systems in general, or just the P4s?
I think we just target 32bit systems. If someone is using a 32bit
install on a 64bit system, it should still 'just work', but they won't
have access to the extra RAM or be able to leverage the NX bit.
