tangram Apr 20, 2009 #3 With Core 2 Duo either i386 or amd64. You can use either, although if you are planning on using NVIDIA cards their binary driver only works on i386.

H hydra Apr 20, 2009 #5 The question is, how much memory you have and for what purpose are you going to use this machine. If you have around 3GB of RAM or you are a desktop user, I would recommend to use i386, because every port will work for you.
