I downloaded this ISO image ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso to install on my PC later. My PC's CPU is an Intel i5, do I have the correct ISO image?

Thanks in advance.

  • if you look at intels webpage you can easily see if your cpu has 64-bit capability. http://www.intel.com/products/processor/corei5/mobile/specifications.htm?wapkw=(i5)

    You also need to specify what your model is called of your i5, you can find that by looking at your pc/mac model webpage.

  • Virtually all CPUs for normal desktop or laptop computers in the last decade are amd64 compatible. There is no significant reason to use a i386 or x86 build in this day and age. – thomasrutter Aug 15 '16 at 04:22

As for the CPU, your decision is right. Core i5 is a 64 bit capable processor, which is the amd64 version (please note that the amd is nothing to do with your CPU).

you want version 12.04LTS or 16.04LTS LTS is long term support(5 years). You won't be able to update 11.04 it's obsolete.
