I think it should install but the operation will not be as that good as the 64 bit processor... hmm.. let's wait for other suggestion good question ..
check this out:
The main difference between 32-bit and 64-bit computing lies in the central processing unit (CPU), the main chip that's at the heart of every computer. 32-bit processors can handle 32 bits of data at a time, while 64-bit processors, as you might imagine, can handle twice that amount. In short, when a processor can handle more data, it can theoretically allow you to load larger programs, bigger files, and generally be more productive. Most processors sold in computers today are 64-bit but also fully support 32-bit instructions, which makes them compatible with the majority of today's operating systems and software
No, it can't be installed. 32-bit software can run on a 64-bit CPU (with the case of x86-64 CPUs), but not the other way around. The 32-bit processor won't be able to understand the 64-bit instructions.

Can a 64-bit Operating System be installed on machine having a 32-bit processor??
No, Nein, Nie, Nada, Nyet!
On the other hand, just how have you determined you do in fact have a pure x86 processor? Info would be helpful, just to clarify/clear-up any assumptions.

My point exactly. A huge number of OEM machines released over last few yrs which were infact fully x64 compatible, came with x86 Windows... thus just checking is not the basis for OP's assumptions
