While I don't happen to know of such an installer, you could detect the  
innards of your machine(s) by first running one of the various  
"Ultimate Boot CD's", such as the "Hiren's Boot CD" downloadable from  
the Internet. Such CD's are usually based on some flavor of DOS and are  
explicitly made for hardware testing, benchmarking, and so on; it  
wouldn't take you more than a couple of minutes to determine what  
architecture you're dealing with.
Of course, an auto-detecting installer would be a far nicer thing to  
have ...
