    I'm afraid you will have to get the 32Bit version of that DVD.

    32 vs. 64 bit is not only a question of the kernel but also of the version of the compiled libraries and most executables.

    I agree with GUN-Fan. Its not possible to install 64bit OS in 32bit machine. You can install 32bit OS in 64bit machine though.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
