It did occur to me that the best way to discover whether a computer can
run a particular operating system is to try it. Download a 64-bit
netinstall and try it in graphical rescue mode. It will write nothing
unless explicitly told to. If it gets as far as correctly enumerating
the existing partitions, it is fairly safe to say that the binary code
set runs successfully on the CPU.
