Absolutely. This is what the 32-bit version of SUSE linux says when it detects 
that you are about to install it on a PC with a 64-bit processor (be it an 
AMD or Intel 64-bit processor). It's just a little hint that you could use 
the 64-bit edition of SUSE on that machine. All that said the 32-bit edition 
will still work fine on the 64-bit processor so it's nothing to worry about.

Regards,

Paul.
