No problem, newbies are always welcome. Yes. AMD64 is supported by Intel's EM64T chips like the P6100. You can also run 32-bit stuff on it just fine, but I'd recommend going with the 64-bit. -A On Mar 6, 2011, at 12:25 , terry houle wrote: > Thank you for the offer.

In the download I selected 64 bit from the drop down since I have a Intel P6100 2.00 g chip and Intel indicates that is a 64 bit. Yet the Ubunto drop down recommended using the 32 bit. But my dilemma with that 64 bit download is that is say AMD64.
