from what I understand no (and I am sure others will correct me if I am
wrong). What I can say definitively is that Plan 9 will run on a 64-bit
machine when compiled in 32-bit mode. My primary machine has a AMD Phenom
II X4. It is one of those cheap Gateway machines, which unfortunately do
not give you lots of details of what is under the hood (and I might not
have bought it for that if I had fully know up front). So the good news is
that you can probably get it to work. The best place to start looking it
look at Erik's 9atom boot disk and you might have to play around with the
SATA/IDE settings (which on my bios caused lots of problems). The should
be a hundred or so posts in the archives dealing with 64-bit machines and
booting with 9atom.
Hope that helps.
