The other way to end up in this position is to take an existing 32-bit
system and replace the motherboard/CPU with a 64-bit replacement
without reinstalling the operating system.  It's often not worth the
hassle of doing a re-install.  I'm still running 32-bit Debian on my
main workstation at home.  It hasn't had a full reinstall since
sometime around 1996.
