interesting, thanks! how do i know if mine is 64-bit enabled? it's an
eMachines M5414 (they apparently produced around 12 of them :). this is
what /proc/cpu says:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

it's actually 1.6 GHz throttled down. so if it's 64-bit enabled can i
use the 64-bit version of linux? what make options should i use?

thanks,
alvin
