We already do provide both 32 and 64 bit ISOs. Putting both on one ISO would pretty much double the size of an ISO that is the biggest ISO of all the Ubuntu ISOs. Last I checked, UbuntuSTudio did still load and work on well over 10 years old computers so long as they have at least 1 Gig ram (though more is needed to make the best use) There are enough people who rely on a machine not connected to tyhe internet to make on the go installs not practical.

There are a number of ways to see of a computer is (Intel/AMD) 64-bit compatible.
1. Boot from a memtest86+ disc, look at the processor details on-screen and Google that for more details. Or look it up on WikiPedia.
2. If running a Linux, use this command:-
grep -i lm /proc/cpuinfo
grep -i lm /proc/cpuinfo
If you see "lm" listed in the "flags" line, 64-bit mode is available.
