Don't just go by release date, go by end-of-sale date.  When did Intel
and AMD _stop_ selling CPUs that did not have 64 bit support?  That's
what really matters.

I have a Thinkpad from early 2006 that is 32 bit only for example.  It
works perfectly fine, so I am in no hurry to replace it just because it
is only 32 bit.
