For most open-software distributions: AMD64 is the 64 bit build for both AMD and Intel. Probably referred to as AMD64 because AMD had a compatible 64 bit processor while Intel was still fooling around with Merced for its 64 bit stuff. X86 is the 32 bit build for both AMD and Intel. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
