Download and try the live cd, also know as the desktop cd, first. If it
does not work for some reason, installing will not work either. The
live cd gives you a chance to try first, without changing or installing
anything on your own hard drive.

You can try both 32-bit and 64-bit, also, by using the live cd.

good luck,
