Woody did not support x86_64, and isn't supported at all anymore.  Sarge
(3.1) has unofficial support (although security does consider it
supported) at amd64.debian.net, and etch will have full official support
for it.  Just look for the amd64 port of debian.

Of course the i386 version runs fine on that machine, it just doesn't
use any of the 64bit features.
