Re: Wich Debian system with Intel Core 2 CPU: i386 or amd64?
unless you are doing memory intensive calculations or have a lot of memory (I
would say that probably 3+ GB although some say more), you're probably better
of with the i386 distribution.
Using 64 bit has more memory overhead and no performance advantage for most
stuff (even performance decrease for some stuff). Also not everything is
available for 64 bit yet.
