I was going to say the same thing until I realized that the original system was 32-bit
only, so couldn't run the 64-bit p2v. At least that's my understanding from the
original post.
x86_64 CPUs are just x86_32 CPUs with a bunch of fancy extra features (to be slightly
inaccurate but mostly true). The CPU can drive an x86_32 OS, it just won’t be able to use
any of those fancy features.
