Linux i386 or AMD64... which is Core 2?

I want to install OpenBSD again for the first time in a few years, but I'm a bit unsure which version I need for a 64 bit processor. Anyone know which group the Core 2 family fits into?

 

AMD64. The other one is 32-bit.

 

It is fairly confusing but basically...

i386 / x86 etc = 32 Bit

AMD64 / x64 = 64 Bit

So the question isn't so much with group does it fit in (as it can run either) more which system you want, 32 or 64 Bit.

Hope i helped.

 

i386, i586 and i686 are all 32-bit

Core 2 is i686/IA-32 and AMD64 compatible.

 

Core2 is x86_64, thus AMD64

 

Great, the AMD part made me wonder!

When I doubt something like this, I always turn to Gentoo:

X86-64, AMD64 and Intel 64 (formerly EM64T or IA-32e) are all the same thing ^_^

Since we posted at the same time yesterday... I didn't even see your reply... And I find x86_64 less confusing to plebs then AMD64 (which isn't strictly for AMD )

 

Sure, but AMD did come up with it, so I don't mind rubbing it in for Intel

 

Well, 64bit was used long before Intel and AMD joined the scene...

 

Make sure you install bsd.mp from the distribution sets and run it from the bootloader..
