should i be using x86_64 or i686?

my cpu says x86 but it's only 32bit.

it's an older laptop with a core 2 duo.

definitely i686.

x86_64 is for 64-bit x86 CPUs whereas i686 is for 32-bit x86 CPUs.

>Core2 Duo
AMD64

even my laptop which has pentium core and from 2006 is 64 bit
what shitty laptop did you bought OP

Core 2 duo processors are all 64 bit. You might have a core duo processor, these were 32 bit.

But mine is a core 2 duo.

Then use x86_64, it's not that fucking difficult to understand.
>>
>>55395523
It's a 64-bit processor then.

I guess it is 64bit...

T7700's are 64-bit. You can use x86_64 or amd64 packages. (Same thing, but intel call it x86_64, while AMD, who created it, call it amd64)

Trust me, I work at a place that refurbishes obsolete machines for community groups. We only bother with a 64-bit distro these days, and I've done a bunch of Core 2 Duo's in the last few weeks.
