Yes, thanks. Sadly, I see that I have no choice but to switch to another distribution even though I'm using 64-bit CPU. It's just that the memory can't be upgraded and buying new computer just to keep running Fedora is not viable. It's 12 years old, is in good condition and I'm completely satisfied with its performance for my needs. I wonder what owners of thin terminals will do if they used Fedora, especially if there are many of them. The cost of upgrading some old terminals for some school can be too high.
It is probably very rare for someone to have just enough memory for a system to run reasonably using i686, but tank when using x86_64. If there is some key code that causes the problem, you might be able to rebuild that code to use 32 bit addresses and save enough memory to make things work reasonably.
