[Debian] AMD 64 bit architecture

[Ibrahim Mubarak <ibmub80@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I have an AMD 64 [Socket 754] processor. However, I installed Debian Sarge for the x86
architecture. Is it best to stay like this, or to change to a 64 bit one? As I was told that the
x86 kernel is optimized for the Hammer processor.

And if I want to change, is it enough to compile a kernel for the 64 bit arch and install it, or
do I have to install Debian all over again?

Thx,
ib
