A couple of seconds of hard Googling turned up this:

http://ark.intel.com/products/37212/Intel-Pentium-Processor-E5200-%282M-Cache-2_50-GHz-800-MHz-FSB%29

As you can see, it's a 64 bit CPU.  Give the 64 bit version a try.  The 
worst it can do is fail, in which case you try again with the 32 bit 
version.
