So I've got this old Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 that I'd like to try installing a more modern OS on, but I'm not sure whether it will run 64-bit OS's, or whether I need to stick to 32-bit (like [Mint 19.3 Xfce 32-bit][1]). I got this out from the system info on this machine, which is currently running an ancient version of Linux Mint:[^a] ``` -Processor- Name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.40GHz Family, model, stepping : 6, 13, 8 (Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron) Vendor : Intel -Configuration- Cache Size : 1024kb Frequency : 1393.30MHz BogoMIPS : 2786.59 Byte Order : Little Endian -Features- FDIV Bug : no HLT Bug : no F00F Bug : no Coma Bug : no Has FPU : yes -Cache- Cache information not available -Capabilities- fpu : Floating Point Unit vme : Virtual 86 Mode Extension de : Debug Extensions - I/O breakpoints pse : Page Size Extensions (4MB pages) tsc : Time Stamp Counter and RDTSC instruction msr : Model Specific Registers pae : Physical Address Extensions mce : Machine Check Architeture cx8 : CMPXCHG8 instruction apic : Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller mtrr : Memory Type Range Registers pge : Page Global Enable mca : Machine Check Architecture cmov : Conditional Move instruction clflush : Cache Line Flush instruction dts : Debug Store acpi : Thermal Monitor and Software Controlled Clock mmx : MMX technology fxsr : FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions sse : SSE instructions sse2 : SSE2 (WNI) instructions ss : Self Snoop tm : Thermal Monitor pbe : Pending Break Enable up : smp kernel running on up bts : Branch Trace Store ``` Thanks for any help with this (a bit lame for a question, I know, but it's a genuine one)!
