CPU and motherboard information are to determine if my system is really 32-bit (as "it" always tells me), or if I can make it run as 64-bit. It seems like all the information I'm getting says it's 64-bit, but whenever I've tried to install a 64-bit system, I get a message that says "wrong architecture". I want to install Qubes+Whonix (or some combination with Whonix). Both Qubes and Whonix are now 64-bit only, unless I compile from source, but that is too much bother for what I want. It would be easier just to buy a new CPU and/or motherboard. But I want to hold off on any more purchases (and more clutter) until I can get myself moved into a bigger place. In any case, 32-bit machines are clearly on their way out, and I really ought to get with it. I wanted 64-bit to begin with, but 32-bit was all I could find, when I was buying parts to build this present machine. So the question is: Do I really have a 64-bit machine here, as it seems; and if so, why am I forced to run it as 32-bit? Thanks Felix. Any help is appreciated.
