Thread: Debian 5 version on intel amd

The AMD Athlon XP, on Intel x86-based processor, ergo, it is also compatible.

One should perhaps add that there is no Intel and AMD versions exist, the only differences lie in the architecture, ie x86 (32-bit), x64 (64-bit), PPC, SPARC, etc.

Exactly x86 halt was developed by Intel and is therefore sometimes called the intel x86, in the Linux community, however, frequently i386, x86-64, that is what is known today commonly referred to as 64-bit processor is usually called amd64, as developed by AMD, also use Intel's 64bit AMD64 CPUs.

So on the debian-page get updated very often downloads for alpha, amd64, arm, amel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, sparc and s390, what is the whole, i think it should se but only amd64 and i386 many thanks that you helped me. Now I know in my dases beknackt drive must be and I had been afraid that I must download it all over again at 70 kb / s does it take quite a while, many thanks.

Well, it is probably necessary in such versions exist or they would not be offered, do not know what all this is, but as I hppa and ia64 suggests that these are special CPU architectures which are used in high performance computing.
