I have AMD 1900+ and GeForceMX 440. Which one is for me?

what's the difference b'ween IA32, IA64 and AMD64? :confuse:

You, as well, want the IA32. If you had 64bit you'd more than likely know it. It's the "next generation" cpu's. However, most home-users won't have them, not yet anyway.

Cool

Thanks

So IA32 is Intel-AMD 32 bit, am i right?

Sure

You can actually read about the 64 bit processors on the manufacturer's respective websites:
www.intel.com (http://www.intel.com/products/browse...nd_processors&)
www.amd.com (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...8_8825,00.html)

It's much faster architecture, obviously, but at what cost? A LOT.

Cool
