I have exactly 4BG of RAM. However, I also have 1.5GB
of BIOS, so guess what - only 2.5GB of the 4GB is really
usable.

Sure, I expected to lose some of the memory, but not
1.5GB.

So, AMD64 will go on my 0.5GB of RAM firewall, since
that is easy to recover if I find things are really, really
broken.
