No, IA-64 is for Intel Itanium CPUs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium . You want i386 (32bit) or amd64 (64bit). There are still minor issues with 64bit desktops. For example, Adobe's 64bit flash player does not function on all the sites that the 32bit plugin will. -- Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
