(Sigh...) You didn't go to the link I provided, because if you looked into AMD products you would have found this information about *your* processor: http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUSideBySide.aspx?id=151&id=167&id=168&id=169&id=170 4 in 5 micros are 64-bits capable. And as per your "lm" flag, I'd say yes: your processor supports 64-bits OSes. > And, that the CPU (if not the BIOS) can work with 8GB of RAM? Did you notice the "pae" flag"? Your CPU can work with 8 GiB of ram whichever architecture you can use (64 or 32 bits). > (This is different to the I3 system that I particularly wanted to know > whether I should try to install the I386 or the AMD64 version, but, now, > I am curious about this system, also) It is eaiser than you think. - If in doubt, use the 32 bits arch. - If still want to "try" the 64 bits flavour, just download any of the 64- bits LiveCDs that you can find out there and try to load it >:-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
