Although not new to linux I am not a hardware person. I have a rather

on a 64 bit CPU?

I am planning on upgrading by linux machine to 64 bits and would like to use
the primary master (linux installation only) on the new machine - which would
make life considerably simpler for me.

32-bit suse can run on x86_64, but not ia64. It's unlikely that you have ia64
hardware, so the answer is most likely yes.

Just curious why you'd want to do that though.
