I have a notebook with the processor core i3 350m
I use amd64 or ai64

Its 2010 (almost 2011), there is no longer need to stick to i386 if You have 64bit CPU.SirDice said:If you have less then 4GB of memory I'd stick to i386.

What exacly? A 'desktop' term tells nothing reallyOJ said:I have now spent weeks and still not gotten a desktop system to function acceptably
I didn't think this would be an appropriate thread to discuss my problems, but you can see my other threads for specifics.vermaden said:What exacly? A 'desktop' term tells nothing really
OJ said:Reading different threads on the subject has not helped me because there is no consensus whatsoever.
douglasfim said:my doubt was more between amd64 and ai64
but as they said "ia64 is Itanium"
I thank all

From what I have seen, besides Konqueror crashes, most of Your problems comes fomr lack of knowledge, mistyped commands, messing ports with packages (we all have these problems sonner or later, but its exacly the same on i386 ... at least for these problems that I have ckecked Your latest threads).
For example VESA framebuffer does not work (or it did not work some time ago) on amd64, but is that 'wallpaper boot' really that needed?
UNIXgod said:It's confusing isn't it. AMD 64-bit implementation succeeded where intel's failed. The open source community kept the name amd64 where intel renamed it EMT64 or what not for obvious reasons. So now you can buy an AMD chip with intels 32-bit instruction set and AMD's 64-bit instruction set or you can buy an Intel with AMD's 64-bit instruction set and intels 32-bit instruction set. crazy.

I'm running i386 on a dual-core Atom with no problems.
DutchDaemon said:You should probably also apologize for using the word "distro" around here ... Anyway: amd64 should do for your CPU.
