Yeah, I've recently switched an old Atom A330[0] based system[1]

code).
It has been running just fine and actually feels a bit faster now.
I had a similar experience. I setup a bunch of old P4 desktops for a
school computer lab. Initially, I used a 32-bit install, but then I
discovered that they actually supported 64-bit. A Mate desktop runs
just fine in 2GB of RAM even with Firefox and Libreoffice.
