The honour of the real work goes to AMD hence the amd64 extension. They are interchangeable for the common user. Intel has a separate 64 bit CPU called Itanium, which is also commonly called Itanic since, just like Titanic, it sank with all at hands. Itanium architecture is known as ia64 to make matters more confusing. Hence amd64 makes more sense. To cut the story short: use it, that's the one you are looking for.</blockquote><div> Ah, thanks, I really didn't know this. </div></div> -- Two atoms are walking along. Suddenly, one stops.
