Both should work but you may have very limited compatibility problems with the x64-64 arch, as it was mostly tested on AMD Opterons. Furthermore, when going x86_64 you may have recompile the kernel in-order to gain (better) HT support. Hope it helps, Gilboa On Sun, 2005-02-06 at 10:26 +0200,

Gilboa is pretty much on the mark here although their not totally identical. As gilboa stated em64t implements sse3 instructions (while amd64 support sse2) and amd64 support the 3dNOW! instruction They both return the same value in uname -m in most kernels so don't let that confuse you. A very

This greatly depend on the type of software being used. In general, x86-64 is faster in most applications due to the added GP (General purpose) registered available in 64bit mode. However, 64bit applications tend to have bigger memory footprint; if your machine is low on RAM, 64bit may
