Yes, that's where I got mislead. I've read about Nano processor and
that's supporting 64-bit, and I had the impression that it is the same
for C7. My mistake. And i thought about 64bit system, as I'm planning
to use ZFS and as I understand, this 64bit architecture is
recommended.

Any way - thanks for clarification.
