No, indeed they're not. But there is no 64-bit processor with CPUID
0F27h. Fortunately, there are precious few cpuids that are shared by 32
and 64-bit processors.

And you can find data about processors by their S-SPEC in
http://ark.intel.com.

Yes. And since it is netburst-based, you might actually be better off
with hyperthreading disabled. Depends on what you'll use the box for.
