32Bit Downloads

I have some experience with new users on Nim, related to some Nim-powered open source,
sometimes noobs install 32Bit Nim on 64Bit OS, no new 32Bit hardware for PC been built since the 90's or 2000's,
on the Nim website the 2 versions are similar visually and no other explanation given.
Some people come from scripting interpreted languages, and been using 32Bit out of habit until today,
when your code runs inside a virtual machine theres no difference, but for native machine code it does.
Maybe the 32Bit download can be smaller or less significant visually, and add a tiny comment or tooltip
"Nowadays all PC are 64Bit hardware, theres no modern 32Bit PC, probably you should use 64Bit Nim" or similar.

Good idea. Ping @narimiran
