[Gllug] Is there such a thing as a 64-bit Celeron

[John Winters]

I just bought a remaindered motherboard and Celeron D processor (£50 
from Maplin) to resurrect an old machine whose motherboard is suffering 
from bit rot.

When it arrived I looked closely at the processor and found it is a 
Celeron D 346 (3.06 GHz).  I went to look it up on Intel's web site and 
found to my surprise it is listed as being a 64 bit processor.

I tried an Etch RC2 ia64 installation CD in it and got no joy at all. 
It's now busy installing the i386 version.  Is there such a thing as a 
64-bit Celeron D?  If not, then what is Intel claiming on their web site?

TIA,
John
