Run 32-bit Linux from a CD or something. For example the
http://knoppix.org/ livecd. Run a test there. Use lm-sensors (sensors)
to monitor your CPU temp and fan speeds during the test. Well, hopefully
they'll work.

Then repeat the process in 64-bit mode.

If it works in 32-bit and not in 64-bit, then get your money back. The
laptop won't work in 64-bit mode because of inadequate cooling and since
they probably advertised as 64-bit processor, well, they lied.

In either case it is important to monitor the CPU temp and fan speeds to
make sure that at least the fan is running at the same speed in both modes.
