There I was thinking that we would have a friendly interaction. Instead you yell at me, ignore what I wrote, and insist that not only does the world have to cater to you, but it also has to spoon-feed you information in the exact texture that you prefer. > > https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/35300/intel-pentium-processor-e5300-2m-cache-2-60-ghz-800-mhz-fsb.html > > says that the e5300 has the 64 bit instruction set, so it will > > also run the amd64 release. > > OFF-TOPIC: I explicitly asked for *DEBIAN DOCUMENTATION*. I gave you the Debian docs. It tells you what you need to look for. It is not Debian's responsbility, nor would it be a good use of a volunteer's time, to keep track of every CPU ever made. Then I gave you the precise reference documentation. It *IS* Intel's responsibility to keep track of their CPU list, and they do so quite well. > Weak point there is the word "should". Based on *your* background. These CPUs *can* run the Debian AMD64 port. Will your specific machines? Probably, but there are always manufacturers who decide to do something bizarre in the name of profit. Nobody can give you a definitive answer without trying it out on your specific machines. And that's what you should do. > I was looking for documentation that *does not* assume the reader has some > unspecified expertise. You were looking to not just be spoonfed the answer, but to not have to learn anything. Tough noogies. Plonk.
