Any 64-bit PC will run a 32-bit OS just fine. 64-bit CPUs have been out for about
10 years now.

If you want an actual model recommendation, look for a D945GCLF2 mini ITX Atom motherboard on Ebay

They are cheap and low power and have a parport.
2 entries on the latency lists wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Latency-Test

PCW who has tested a lot of boards rates them

Thank you very much, Jon and ArcEye you are like angels
