Unless he wants to go 64-bit.

AMD64 LiveCD 2007.0 problem
 

Kernel panics can be due to bad ram. Try loading the memtest86 kernel
and leave your computer on for a couple of days. If ram's ok, then the
kernel panic could be something else.

True, panics can be caused by bad ram. This panic followed a
"NMI Watchdog ... LOCKUP". As the problem is reproducible I'm inclined
to think it's not bad ram.

Hmm...NMI Watchdog sounds like the system crashes due to waiting for
an interrupt for a longer period of time than the watchdog allows.

Should be able to build a 64-bit system from a 32-bit system, shouldn't
you?
