The correct debian port for INTEL Core2Duo is amd64 or i386.
If your system has not more than 2 GB of memory installed I would recommend
to still use the 32bit Linux (i386), If you have more memory installed use
the 64-bit Linux (amd64)
Do you have any reasons for that suggestion? Which disadvantages does
the amd64 port have on system with up to 2GB of RAM?
a 64 bits system consume more memory than a 32 bits system for each
pointer and long (going from 32 bits = 4 bytes to 64 bits = 8 bytes) and
also have higher alignment requirements.
Rumors say that most processes consume about 30% more RAM
Hence the hint (even if the 2Gb RAM threshold is arbitrary)
