AMD 32-bit. Sempron 2400+ to be exact. (Would've had 64-bit instead if my older computer had held out a few more months.)

If people are running 32-bit Ubuntu on a 64-bit processor, which way do you want them to vote? (Just asking for purposes of clarification; I'm 64-bit all the way myself.)

AMD 64 here... (3200+, running at between 1GHz and 2.2GHz)

I am running a 939 socket AMD 64 3200 @ 2.35. I am still using a 32 bit OS until driver support is better and more applications have been ported to 64 bit.

I understand that the poll question is referring to the processor only. So even if you're running a 32-bit version of Ubuntu on a 64-bit processor, you would select 64-bit.

AMD Ahtlon 64 3200+ in my desktop machine, soon to be replaced by an x2 but, as a mediacentre, limited to 32bit winxp ('cause I'm sure as hell not paying a dime for a 64bit copy).

I use Ubuntu 32-bit on my Athlon XP 2800+ and Celeron 1.7, Ubuntu 64-bit on my Athlon 64 3000+, and Ubuntu for PowerPC's on 5 iMacs at school. :) I used to hate AMD and love Intel, but recently tides have changed and I have realised that AMD has the faster, less expensive CPUs.

I'm using a 32-bit Sempron 2600+ (the socket 754 version). Bought it because I needed a fast and cheap processor at the time (old box broke down). It was cheap allright, cool, and after a bit of overclocking, pretty fast. Would've loved to have a Semrpon64 so I could help squashing bugs in Ubuntu 64-bit, but they were released like 4 months after I got mine.

I didn't know there were 32-bit Semprons for socket 754, that's interesting. Back before I accidently crushed my Athlon XP 2200+, I was OC'ing it from 1.8 GHz to 2.7 GHz stock cooling. :) 24/7 100% stable, I loved it. Unfortunately, no where near my friends dual Xeon 1.6 GHz @ 4.2 with water. :p
