What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit and which should I choose?
My cpu is Intel® Core™2 Quad Q8200 which, by Intel page support 64bit. I went to the download section and saw that for desktop Ubuntu recommends the 32 bit and not the 64 bit.
Why? I know that there were problems with flash and Java on older versions - but is there any reason I should not go on 64 bit version?
Why does the 64 bit version called amd64 and not just 64bit, I always thought that the AMD relates to AMD the chip manufacturer and can't understand if it compatible to Intel chips
