Fglrx driver installation


I am using opensuse 11.3 x86/64, kernel vmlinuz-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop.
CPU: CPU0: Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6300 @ 2.80GHz stepping 0a

I would like to build the fglrx installer rpm. It can be built in two flavours, which one should I choose?:
a) Build "SuSE/SUSE113-IA32", because I am on intel architecture, or
b) build "SuSE/SUSE113-AMD64", because I have a 64 bit kernel, or
c) build none, I have install a 32 bit kernel, first, then build "SuSE/SUSE113-IA32"?

Sorry if this seems to be a lame question, but this was not quite clear to me even after reading the relevant documentation (also including the readme of the driver)

SuSE/SUSE113-AMD64

AMD64 is a term used to describe the 64-bit extensions to IA32 processors. They were first implemented by AMD (hence why they are called AMD64), though Intel eventually added them as well.
