Hi, I am a newbie in Linux, and want to setup Fedora on my old pc to play with. Please advise which version will work comfortable on AMD Athlon 1600+, 512Mb memory? I want to move from Win to Linux, so I installed Fedora 9 through VMWare player, but its way too slow. Currently I have Win XP on it and it works more or less acceptable. The PC intended mostly to work with GIMP and Scribus Thanks in advance, Victor

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2. i386 or x8664?

location: linuxquestions.com - date: March 26, 2007
Hi everyone I have a very silly question but I really need to know the answer I'm not sure which one is the architecture of my processor. I suppose this information is very serious and maybe I already did it all wrong from the very begining when I installed SUSE 10.0! Through YaST - Hardware - Hardware Information I see that the computer has two processors: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ whos architecture is: i386 The problem is that I always had the impression their architecture is x86-64. I checked the AMD website and the wikipedia(!) and if I'm not wrong the processors' architecture is AMD64 wich is equivalent to x86-64 It gets worse. I can't find my linux dvd or iso. At least I remember that every time I had to make a choice of arcitecture I chose x86-64 In case it's usefull my kernel is: 2.6.13-15.15-smp I hope you enjoyed this post
