Author Newbee question on fedora and Celeron or P4

I recently downloaded Fedora and tried to install it on my spare
computer which has a 2G Celeron. When booting from the CD I get the
error "your CPU does not support long mode, try using a 32 bit". I then
tried to install it into my wifes computer which has a Pentium 4 3G, and
got the same error. Two questions:

1. What exactly does that mean?
2. Where can I get the 32 bit?

Thank you for your time

Sounds like you got the x86_64 ISO's instead of the ones you need. These
ISO images are built for different processors (AMD-64 or Intel EM64T
for example) then the ones you listed.

Want you want;
