Don't bother checking: since you had to ask the question, you won't care
whether you run a 64bit or 32bit kernel, and since those processors
don't support much more than 2GB anyway, there's no point running
a 64bit kernel.
I.e. just use your regular 32bit Intel install (i386/x86/i686/IA32 or
whichever name you like to use to refer to it).
