Anyway, how do I find out if indeed this motherboard

capable of running) 64-bit? It was some command or other which gave me the
information in a shell, then Nik (as I recall) said, hey, your machine is
actually 64-bit. When I did the original installation, though, I didn't get
the choice. Also I don't mind buying a new, bigger and better motherboard;
that wouldn't take up more space. If I get any more crowded here, then I will
need to sleep outside.
Try lscpu . If you get a line that reads:
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
or
Architecture: x86_64
you should be running a 64-bit system. Bitness is normally governed by the
CPU, not the mobo (although since one upgrades the two in lockstep
95% of the time, it's hard to say how much that matters).
If you want another computer and your space is *really* restricted, there are
a few tiny single-board systems like the LattePanda that have an x86_64
CPU architecture and are in a similar category to the RPi sizewise.
