EM64T processors support an emulation mode for legacy 32-bit programs
and operating systems.  If you want to take advantage of the wider
data path, you will need to install a EM64T aware version of your
operating system.  (While in theory it would be possible for a 32-bit
os to support running 64-bit binaries, you may need to install the
'amd64' version of the kernel.)
