I don't think it is unreasonable to assume everyone already has a 64-bit capable PC considering the most recent mainstream 32-bit only CPU is 2004's first gen Prescott Pentium 4.

Intel early centrinos are not 64bit (Dothan / Banias) so are the initial Core / Core Duo CPUs (Yona). Intel didn't release a mobile 64bit CPU until 2006/7 with Core 2 Duo. Also the initial implementations of Intel64/EMT64 lack certain functions so even tho they technically support 64bit they might lack certain other features that are required by modern operating systems. So overall if you have a 10 year old laptop you might not be able to use Tails 3.0.

  agree my t60 does not limiting the amount of hardware capable of running libreboot without AMT/ME and tails even more :'(

  not even. If you have a netbook from 2009 the ubiquitous Intel Atom N270 that powered all of those was a single-core 32-bit CPU.

    My thought as well. Those things are everywhere like rats.

    I forgot about the Atoms completely, are they even 64bit now?
