Thinking about this, yes.

I happen to have a silly Old EEEPC which doesn't have the removeable
  cover such that you have to take it all apart and take the
  motherboard out, just to change the RAM/mini-pci-card/etc. *but*
  that isn't *normally* the case.

Thinking further, remember that 64bits is of benefit for systems
  with over 3gb ram (but that PAE linux kernels can still use
  64gb in 32bits mode, across the system).

I would definitely consider/look-into AMD Bobcat options, as
  well as the Intel Atom variants....

e.g. in another context a "Acer Iconia Tab w500" was suggested
  as a Tablet-computer with a bobcat in it...
