If it's core 2 duo is definitely is x86_64. The dvd boot tells you 
pretty quickly if you are trying to boot an x86_64 media on a non x86_64 
processor.

You might be able to determine if this is just an installer issue, by 
downloading, and writing a live media, eg:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora
   Fedora 10 Desktop Edition   Live Media

and seeing if that allows the machine to operate OK ?
