The amd64 is for all 64 bit machines (amd64 and Intel EMT64) The x86 is for all 32 bit machines (Intel and AMD)
According the spec sheet, http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/2850_specs.pdf, that is a 64 bit machine. Note, because AMD developed 64 for the x86 first, the BSDs call 64 bit mode amd64. When Intel licensed it from AMD, they called by a different name (something without the competitor's name in it). Another common name for amd64 is x86_64. The only place where AMD vs. Intel 64 really makes a difference is in VM servers (such as ESXi and XenServer), where methods for visualizing IO are different. Most other places, 64 bit is 64 bit and really doesn't matter. Walter On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 3:37 PM, Brian Caouette <[email protected]> wrote: > Just ordered a Poweredge 2850.
