Processor Architecture

I believe it would be a nice thing to include the processor architecture as part of the System -> Overview page near where the Firmware is, or maybe even part of the firmware name, like:

Firmware: 6.2.2 ARM (Check for Updates)
or
Firmware: 6.2.2 Sparc ..
etc.

The reason i want this is to allow me to know what flavor of a add-on i should install. I'm programmer and couldn't figure out the processor architecture, i can imagine computer illiterates having the same confusion.

Thanks.

    It would be nice to include some system details somewhere, but it wouldn't solve as much as you think. OS5 arm systems aren't at all compatible with OS6 arm add-ons, and vice versa.
