+1, except it should be "For netbooks or older computers click here (32-bit
version)".

Unfortunately, most netbooks are not 64-bit capable. :-( The netbook
versions of the Atom have it disabled ("for power consumption reasons",
they say; I think there's also some differential pricing involved) and the
Celeron used on the original EeePCs and some other netbooks is also a
32-bit only version (based on the original Core Solo, AFAIK).
