AMD64 as server...but LTSP clients complain about not being amd64?

Ok, so I have an AMD64 3500 processor based server running Edubuntu 6.06
natively installed on the hard drive. I used the AMD64 ISO media so as
to get maximum performance from the AMD processor.
I then setup a little Dell Optiplex 800mhz PIII machine to use PXE and
remote boot from the server. It gets an address via DHCP, then it spits
out an error:
"This is not an amd64 machine. Please install the i386 version of Ubuntu"
This is perplexing, as operating as a Terminal server is resource
intensive, I had assumed that using the AMD64 version of edubuntu would
be appropriate to obtain max performance from the server hardware.
So, before I do a wipe and reinstall of the amd64 server with the i386
iso, is there a way to get the server to give out the i386 image via PXE?
TIA! :)
