Hi
I am planning to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (dual boot) in my Dell Inspiron
17 Laptop. It has Windows 7 professional 64 bit OEM version. The processor
is Intel core i5 3337U 1.8 GHz which supports 64 bit instruction set. I
would like to know which desktop image PC (intel 386) or 64 bit PC (AMD 64)
I should download and use. Will this Intel processor support 64 bit Ubuntu?
I shall be thankful, if someone clarify my doubt.
Since your laptop runs the 64-bit version of Windows just fine, it
should run the amd64 version of Ubuntu just fine. In case you were
confused by the name "amd64" and wondered if it will run on Intel
processors, [1] should give you more clarity on the topic.
Hope this helps.
