   "Too slow" is not a criteria for whether or not a CPU will run 64-bit    
   programs.  It's the CPU architecture that matters.  If it's anything    
   newer than a Pentium-4, it's capable of doing 64-bit, probably.

   I don't use Windows, but I'm pretty sure you can run legacy doors on    
   64-bit these days.  Something to do with a 64 version of "NTVDM" or    
   something similar.   
      
   But I do get the idea of not wanting to upgrade just because there's a    
   new version available.  No great reason to do that on a machine being    
   used to run a BBS.
