Yes, I read that in the instructions before making the change
but I thought perhaps it was due to a limitation of the original
Windows XP provided with it which is long gone.
The other computer now F-14 32 bit, shows cp0/cp1 as 64 bit
under lshw
but the basic computer as 32 bit. Is that because it's running
32 or is that a limitation?

I know, I should try it, but someone more knowledgeable may know
the answer?
Maybe I know the answer already, this Dell shows the same 32 bit
width and I know I had 64 bit Linux installed on it. Perhaps
that has some other meaning and my ignorance is showing!
