i686 or x86_64
hi guys, am gentoo user, and trying archlinux.
in gentoo i use march=native, and compile stuff, i need not worry about the architecture.
am using centrino core 2 duo, with 4gb ram.
what would u recommend me to install, an i686 or x86_64 version.
i guess intel core 2 duo comes under i686 family and its a 32 bit processor, but can execute 64bit words.....
what do u think?
thanks in advance smile

With 4G, go with 64 bit.
