I suspect so, yes. In fact, I'm always using ark.intel.com for such types of questions. The xeon 3440 is described here: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42928&processor=X3440&spec-codes=SLBLF so it's a 64bit processor with "instruction set: 64bit" ==> amd64 the itaniums on the other hand have "Instruction set: Itanium 64bit" ==> ia64
Of course, you also can use 32bit only -- or 32bit with a bigmem-Kernel. Axel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/20110524160132.GA11683@axel
