x86 will do for sure. |

But you can check |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "address sizes" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If it shows more than 32 bits (e.g. 48 bits) |
| 17 |
then you could use amd64, as well. |
| 18 |
AFAIK, 64 is mean stream today. |
| 19 |
How much memory do you have installed? |
| 20 |
If more than 4G you have to use adm64 to fully use it. |
| 21 |
I'd prefer amd64 if possible, |
