Debian on AMD64 FAQ Q: Is this port only for AMD 64-bit CPUs? A: No. "AMD64" is the name chosen by AMD for their 64-bit extension to the Intel x86 instruction set. Before release, it was called "x86-64" or "x86_64", and some distributions still use these names. Intel refers to its AMD64 implementation as "Intel64" previously named "EM64T". The architecture is AMD64-compatible and Debian AMD64 will run on AMD and Intel processors with 64-bit support. Because of the technology paternity, Debian uses the name "AMD64". I've always wondered about the "amd" in the name, but it makes sense now. Thanks for the input.. -- Johan Wilfer email: [email protected] JT Tech | Developer webb: http://jttech.se
