    Which processor specific variant should I use?

    I have a new computer that has an Intel Core 2 Duo for a processor. Do I use the x86 version or the 64bit version? Looking forward to Hardy tomorrow.

    I looked through the forums and could not find my answer. Don't assume anything until you ask.

    You can use either, it's up too you. Some people recomend 64bit, others 32.

    I used 32 for awhile with Edgy, then I switched to 64bit. I haven't noticed any problems (a little work was needed with flash) so I'm going 64 again tomorrow.

    I installed 64/hardy this morning, flash install was painless and works like a charm.
