It is particularly easy, considering that 64-bit hardware is mainstream already. Just get an amd processor, available in both stationary and portable models. Even micoroft has noticed those, and linux support is old. 32-bit will hang on for a while longer in the form of old hardware, but not likely for another 33 years.
