 Do you have any reasons for that suggestion? Which disadvantages does
 the amd64 port have on system with up to 2GB of RAM?
I am running debian 64bit on my office PC while I am running 32bit kubuntu on my
home pc. Since both machine are 64bit capable, the only reason is multimedia 
and 
internet.
With a 32bit version it's much simpler to have a full working machine for that 
purposes
since flash player, acrobat reader or some codecs could be installed without 
any pain.

 Hello list,
 
 I want to by a MacBook which ist powered by an Inter Core2Duo (T7400). I was 
 not able to figure out which debian port is the right. Is ist IA64 (the Intel 
 64-bit port) or amd64.
 
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) 

For you Information:
   IA32 is the traditional 32 bit INTEL and AMD  CPU architecture for PC's,
the corresponding debian port is i386.
   AMD64, INTEL64 or EM64t are the architcture names for the 64-bit 
architectures
which are an enhancemant of the IA32 architecture. 
the corresponding debian port is amd64.
   IA64 is the architecture name for INTEL ITANIUM CPU's. They are used in large
server architectures but not in PC's or Mac's, 
the corresponding debian port is ia64 .

 Can you please help me out?
 
 Thank you in advance. W. Mader
