The exception that doesn't is the exception. This machine has one of
amd's early quad core slow phenoms in it, running an i386 install for
reasons of latency figures better than the 64 bit stuff can do. I have
a piece or 7 of 64 bit code installed, but it hasn't complained in any
way I've noticed running 32 bit executables.
