Yes, it's intended for AMD 64-bit extension, but it says it will
run 32-bit stuff. I have not looked at the x86 instruction set
since the 386, but I figure the AMD and Intel instruction sets
have got to be compatibile at some point. They may have put it
out for the purpose of porting Linux to their 64-bit cpu, but
the simulator can be put to other uses.

I don't have anything near the cpu and memory they recommend,
so I won't be trying anything with it. I thought I would just
mention it here, in case others might want to try it.
