I want to download a 64 bit Ubuntu version for a Toshiba, not a Mac. When I download what the download site says is a 64 bit version (NOT the MAC version), its properties still read as 64 bit AMD. What do I do to get the right version?

x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64 and AMD64) is the 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
It's labelled as AMD because AMD designed first X86-64 cpu. It doesn't matter if your cpu is AMD or Intel it's all X86-64. You are downloading the correct iso.
