There are still many netbooks out there and the first > Atom generations are 32 bit only afaik. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Atom The 32 bit-only ones are: Z5xx (April 2008) Z6xx (May 2010) N2xx (June 2008) I still have my N270 netbook, but I guess even more people still have Z6xx-based devices.
