Google is informative. It depends on your stepping. Try it and find out. Wikipedia says 'AMD64 supported by: all models with an OPN ending in BX and CV' and 'E6 stepping or later' If you don't have an OS installed, a boot disk with a CPU information tool would help. On 12/12/2011, sc...@web.de

Hallo! I took the subjectline from "INSTALL.amd64". I hope this is also the right ISO for other AMD processors, not amd64. I have a Sempron 3000+ with 754 sockel, but I am not sure if it supports amd64 instructions. Rod.
