Sys-unconfig isn't going to help as it doesn't address 32/64 bit kernel selection.
Did you check if the Dell 4600 CPU and mainboard support a 64 bit OS in the first place ?

Where can I get a list that maps the each Linux version to corresponding 32/64 bits model?
e.g.
OS -> Model (ILP32, LP64, ...)
RHLE3 -> ?
RHLE4 -> ?
RHLE5 -> ?
...
It would be better if there is such a list that contains most of current UNIX OS versions.

ras-mc-ctl
RAS-MC-CTL(8) RAS memory controller admin utility RAS-MC-CTL(8)
NAME
ras-mc-ctl - RAS memory controller admin utility
SYNOPSIS
ras-mc-ctl [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
The ras-mc-ctl program is a perl(1) script which performs some useful RAS administration tasks on EDAC (Error Detection and Correction)
drivers.
OPTIONS
--help Display a brief usage message.
--mainboard
Print mainboard vendor and model for this hardware, if available. The method used by ras-mc-ctl to obtain the mainboard vendor and
model information for the current system is described below in the MAINBOARD CONFIGURATION section.
--status
Print the status of EDAC drivers (loaded or unloaded).
--quiet
Be less verbose when executing an operation.
--register-labels
Register motherboard DIMM labels into EDAC driver sysfs files. This option uses the detected mainboard manufacturer and model num-
ber in combination with a "labels database" found in any of the files under /etc/ras/dimm_labels.d/* or in the labels.db file at
/etc/ras/dimm_labels.db. An entry for the current hardware must exist in the labels database for this option to do anything.
--print-labels
Display the configured labels for the current hardware, as well as the current labels registered with EDAC.
--guess-labels
Print DMI labels, when bank locator is available at the DMI table. It helps to fill the labels database at /etc/ras/dimm_labels.d/.
--labeldb=DB
Specify an alternate location for the labels database.
--delay=time
Specify a delay of ime seconds before registering dimm labels. Only meaninful if used together with --register-labels.
--layout
Prints the memory layout as detected by the EDAC driver. Useful to check if the EDAC driver is properly detecting the memory con-
troller architecture.
MAINBOARD CONFIGURATION
The ras-mc-ctl script uses the following method to determine the current system's mainboard vendor and model information:
1. If the config file /etc/edac/mainboard exists, then it is parsed by ras-mc-ctl. The mainboard config file has the following simple syn-
tax:
vendor = <mainboard vendor string>
model = <mainboard model string>
script = <script to gather mainboard information>
Where anything after a '#' character on a line is considered a comment. If the keyword script is specified, then that script or exe-
cutable is run by ras-mc-ctl to gather the mainboard vendor and model information. The script should write the resulting information on
stdout in the same format as the mainboard config file.
2. If no mainboard config file exists, then ras-mc-ctl will attempt to read DMI information from the sysfs files
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_vendor
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_name
3. If the sysfs files above do not exist, then ras-mc-ctl will fall back to parsing output of the dmidecode(8) utility. Use of this util-
ity will most often require that ras-mc-ctl be run as root.
