The appriate line from my 64 bit machine is: > >> model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ > ^^ The right answer for the wrong reason. The modelnamn is just an arbitrary string. The OPs processor could very well be named as it is and still be x86_64 capable. The right place to look is a bit further down: >> flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca >> cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt >> 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm ts fid vid ttp tm stc This part lists all the features of the CPU and the one that means x86_64 is callled "lm" (long-mode). This Semperon CPU should not be able to run an x86_64 linux dist. /Peter
