Does there still 32-bit ?

Yes, there is a 32-bit version available. If your Steam is set up to recognize that your system is indeed 32-bit, that version will download instead of the 64-bit version.

Curious question: Why would you? The disadvantages of 64bit mainly slightly bigger memory usage are negligible.

Well My phenom II which supports only up to SSE2 does run this game fine as far as I can tell. But intresting to know, thank you.

Wikipedia lists the following instructionsets for the Phenom II: x86, x86-64 MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4a. I do appreciate you providing me information, because I have had a hard time trying to pinpoint the cause of the startup crashes I've been having in certain games.

I will eventually have to upgrade, but I have been stalling due to the rediculous GPU prices.

GPU prices are down. Just today I saw a 6gb 1060 on Newegg for $200 which isn't bad at all

I just saw that too, but with my phenom II x6 1090T I got an error when trying to run the pc version of Halo5 forge. Turns out that it was due to SSE 4.1 so there was my misinformation. It does get to 4a but not higher.
Another Game I apparently can't run because of this is untangled 2, which is a beautiful platformer that is a lot of fun in coop.
@Rumham this is about CPUs and they are pricey to replace beacause the newer ones only take DDR4 Ram. So in order to upgrade your CPU you have to also get a new moterboard and new Ram.

I mean, the other guy specifically said GPU prices were what was holding him back. And yeah, upgrading isn't cheap but the last Phenom II came out in 2012.

Sorry did not catch that, my bad :)

But why for me that is no reason to not upgrade the rest, as the gpu is easiy replaceable once the prices are sane. I for myself would do that and am planning to do that. Though the GPU albeit also kinda old now, is the newest thing in my pc. Except ssds and hdds that is.

I'm still happily rocking my Phenom II X4 955 and have yet to find a game that I even notice a bottleneck with. I've had no incentive whatsoever to upgrade any time soon.
