Teo en Ming, the ChromiumOS64 project lead, says of the download:
"The original Chromium OS project does not support 64-bit platforms. This is because the majority of the netbooks in the market are based on Intel Atom processors, which are mostly 32-bit."
With Chrome OS launching properly (http://gizmodo.com/5408504/everything-you-need-to-know-about-chrome-os) at the tail-end of 2010, we've got a full year to wait before we see anything more solid become available. And even then, it'll only be available on Google-branded devices, with Acer hoping to launch (http://gizmodo.com/5416887/acer-wants-to-be-first-with-a-chrome-os-netbook) the first official netbook running it.
