Hi all,

Bit of brain fade! lol

Which of these is for 64bit again?

I would have gone for the AMD 64bit one, as I always thought x86 was 32bit? I have an Intel 64bit chipset.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

You were right, go for the amd64.

Baldrick_NZ; Hi !

The amd64 is also for Intel architecture. As I understand it the AMD 64 bit was developed 1st and the designation stuck as suitable for both architectures.
The reference link expands to:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/13.10/release/ubuntu-gnome-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso
as the image you want.



just try'n to help

Thanks guys,

I thought it was the AMD64 version, but the description of both caused confusion and confusion begat brain fade!

I hope they update the website soon.

Cheers.
