64-bits kernels are not only intended for systems with tons of ram. Those
kernels usually have enabled the "nx bit" and AFAIK, only 32 bits PAE
kernels enable such feature.
BTW, my Shuttle box has also a ram limitation of 2 GiB (and currently
using only 1 GiB) but has installed "amd64". It runs fine, without
noticeable drawbacks.
