memory test question

Hello everone:
As I'm not a techie, this may appear to be a stupid question
but, as someone once said, there are no stupid questions, only
stupid answers. I'm running SuSE 9.1 professional 64-bit on an
AMD Athlon 64 on an Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard. I'm
currently running the memory test [ Memtest-86 v3.1 ]
found on CD # 1 [ 32-bit package ].
Given that the CD is for the 32-bit program, is this
test valid on the 64-bit hardware or does memtest simply
test the hardware regardless of the processing power of
the CPU? In other words, does the fact that it is a
64-bit processor invalidate the test results?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike
