Shouldn't this work?
I just purchased a set of DVD's to install Debian Etch (4.0) on my
system. I also got a Ubuntu Ver 6.06 AMD 64 DVD to see how a amd64
compared to the K7 I'm currently running.
On bootup the Ubuntu DVD say that I am not running on a amd64 box.
Here is what /proc/cpuingo says:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 4
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) processor
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 1000.123
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up
bogomips : 2002.13
Did I misunderstand somthing? I 'thought' I read that the Athlon
was a 64 bit processor. Am I wrong, again?
Thanks
Wayne
