Version for Sempron 3600+

Should I use amd64 or i386 for this cpu?

Code:
CPU: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3600+ (2009.13-MHz K8-class CPU)

The documentation says to use amd64 for newer Semprons, but I'm not sure if this one qualifies.

Features shown right after the CPU in dmesg(8) should identify whether it supports amd64 , but I can't recall which.

LM stands for Long Mode, meaning 64-bit, AFIK.
I don't know, but it seems that NX is pretty specific to 64-bit ( I don't know that it has to be, but I also don't know of any i386 chips that implement it).
