I am fairly certain that the Sempron (which is AMD's name for their low-end series of CPUs) does not support 64-bit programs or OS. It might be based upon the same core as the Athlon64 CPUs, but that does not mean it is a 64-bit CPU. (The extra stuff needed to support 64-bit instructions is after all a fairly small part of the core.) So would I use the amd64 version? No. You should use the i386 version. The AMD CPUs that implement the AMD64 architecture are the Opteron and Athlon 64 (incl. Athlon 64FX ) series. The Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Duron, and Sempron do not, but are just normal 32-bit CPUs. -- Insert your favourite quote here.
