That is a 32 bit system. The hardware is 64 bit but the software is all 
32 bit with no plans to upgrade. They say 32 bit is enough for what they

Way to expensive at US$ 200...

shared with the GPU... Difficult to say.

Yes, I know, but I like Unix, I am in a nostalgic trip. Maybe I should 
develop for the Microsoft version, the pine 64 also has a Windows 10
