In your world, 32-bit may be a bygone era. In the real world, the one

Hey, wake up! It's 2008, not 1996.
The op has a 64 bit machine. THERE ARE NO NEW 32 BIT MACHINES. Since
2004 i386 has come to an end. Think about it and you'll get the point.

I see that you're not actually disagreeing... :-)

I do not disagree at all. 32 bit is dead. RIP.

32-bit x86 in commodity hardware, yes. And such hardware was certainly still
available as new last year - I saw some and, indeed, have one item of said
hardware; and before you ask, no, it doesn't matter that it's 32-bit :-)
