That shouldn't matter if you install into a virtual environment.

Ignoring virtualization for the moment, what the CPU is mostly isn't too important. Any standard consumer PC will be x86 or x86_64. What's more important is everything else. I installed Linux back in the real early days of x86_64, on a system where the CPU was recognized but the SATA controller wasn't! I was stuck inside a tiny 2GB PATA drive until I could build a newer kernel that had Silicon Image drivers.
