What architecture is the Intel® Atom™ N2600 (Dual Core; 1.6GHz) Processor 32 or 64?
I'm going to install Linux on my friend's netbook .
It has this processor model Intel® Atom™ N2600 (Dual Core; 1.6GHz).
On the off site it is written that it seems like architecture is 64. On Wikipedia , on the right, that N2XX has 32.
In a random review of a laptop from Google, they also write that 32.
And here's how to find out for this model what architecture and under which architecture to download the OS?
Of course 32 will definitely work. But if the processor can send 64 bits, then you still need to use these features. Please help me figure it out. I am weak in iron.

On bourgeois sites they write that some netbook manufacturers are locking support for 64 commands and you may have to reflash the BIOS
superuser.com/questions/439563/atom-n2600-is-64-bi...
They also write that Linux works with the i686 version, this is the architecture x32
They write on the site that support for the SSSE3 instruction, at the moment new processors have
SSE4.2 instructions,
if you even reflash the BIOS (or 64 works right away), then it is possible that some programs will not work due to the lack of SSSE4
Actually, from here it is possible and lock, it makes sense to write about 64 if there are instructions from the time of Pentium2
If I am interested in information on processors, there is a wonderful site cpu-world.com
Are you interested in the processor www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Atom/Intel-Atom%20N2600.html
It says that it has 64 bits
Since the Intel processor can look at ark.intel.com
ark.intel.com/products/58916/Intel-Atom-Processor-...
It also states that it has 64 bits
AND it does not have SSE4 instructions
"Instruction Set Extensions SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 "
"Features
