amd64 is not only for the AMD processors?

I have an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU6320 @ 1.86GHz

Should I install too the amd64 Debian distribution on this system?

As long as you don't want to run one of the (couple of) third-party apps
that need i396 in Etch without also putting in an i386 chroot. Note,
that many 32-bit apps will actually run in amd64 with the 32-bit libs
package. I don't know about acroread since I don't use it. Iceweasel
32-bit with flashplayer needed a chroot. A chroot isn't much to set up
or maintain.

It's not needed anymore at least in sid with flashplayer, in fact,
there's a package in debian-multimedia.org that makes all the work for
you, I mean, the configuration of the wrapper.

The only think that didn't work either directly or the 32bit libraries for
amd64 was skype that required downloading the static version and then I also
needed to pull a library from another package, don't remember which one at the
moment

No, amd64 support as well emt64 (Intel) but was ridiculous to have 2
ports for something that works in a same way but with different names.

So yes, if you want to take advantage of the 64bits of your proccessor
then install amd64. :-)

Jose Luis.

Either would work for Debian, but some 3rd party packages are only
available for x86 such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, or the Sun's Java
packages.
