Your dealer obviously has no idea what he is talking about.
I doubt that, but I can't verify it. He usually has a quite good knowledge.
If in doubt see wikipedia or the intel homepage. Core Solo and Duo are 32 bit only. Core 2 Duo are x86_64. And only the very recent Atom cpus are. However: If I had to decide I would just provide one single iso including both arches instead of ten as we currently do. That would reduce traffic and make things easier (for users). If it does really matter if you download 300 or 600 MB you probably wont be happy with Arch anyway. (ok, there was some guy at pacman-dev who uses Arch with a 56K connection. But that shouldn't be the average user) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
