No getting complaints from Linux users too. Personally I think it is 2021 and 
at least in 2022 i686 should go. Does not mean to rip out build code but just 
no longer release or test it. Anything built after around 2007 with the 
Core2Duo or higher should run x64 fine and can use 4GB. Not familiar with AMD 
but probably similar.
