The Intel Compute sticks can boot both 32 and 64 bit. It doesn't matter if
you have the Windows or Linux version. (The difference between the is the
amount of RAM and onboard storage, the firmware is the same)

I have the Windows one and it boots 64 bit just fine.
You can select it in the settings. (OS setting: Windows=32 bit, Linux=64 bit)
