Actually most P4's are 32bit, only newer ones socket 775 are 64bit Pentium 4 processors with 64-bit technology use a numbering system which starts with "6", while the processors without this feature start with "5", making it easy to recognize if a Pentium 4 has or not this new technology. For example, both 540 and 640 Pentium 4 processors run at 3.2 GHz, but the 640 model has the 64-bit technology plus other new features not present on the 540 model, like the SpeedStep Technology and the 2 MB L2 memory cache.
As far as the hdinstaller, its a known issue, quite a few people seem to be working on it, and will be fixed in 0.6.2 release...as I was told.
