Not all, but those you're likely to run into if you're buying a
"normal" PC will be 64-bit. AMD does have the Geode line which was
used in some mini-notebooks and it's 32-bit. Further developement may
be dead, but it's still available.

Likewise VIA's Nano and most of Intel's Atom processors are 32 bits.

"VIA Nano Processor

The first 64-bit, superscalar processors in VIA's x86 platform portfolio..."

Even VIA is catching up :-)

Right, it was the older C7 I was thinking about. HP put the mobile
version of that in the cute but expensive 2133 mininotebook. I've been
kicking myself that I didn't get one when they were selling the last
ones cheaply...
