Windows I586 Vs X64

I have an AMD Turion and do not know which version to choose from when installing Arch Linux.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.

Part of the track may block others so that if the track is filled with balls, the ones behind some may be unreachable. Using the mouse to rotate the frog and clicking to fire, the player needs to create rows of three or more of the same color balls to eliminate them.The catch is that each track is shaped differently. The goal: eliminate all the balls before they reach the skull. Play luxor free version. Balls roll down a track towards this skull and the player-controlled frog-shaped idol must shoot balls toward them to stop them, earning points.

  2. I686 is the 32-bit version, and x8664 is the 64-bit version of the OS. The 64-bit version will scale with memory better, particularly for workloads like large databases which need to use lots of ram in the same process.

i686 is the 32-bit version, and x86_64 is the 64-bit version of the OS.

The 64-bit version will scale with memory better, particularly for workloads like large databases which need to use lots of ram in the same process. Do not consider running a (significant) database server on a 32-bit machine.

No preview available. The difference between amd64 and i386 is that amd64 is 64-bit while i386 is 32-bit.This is the width (in bits) of registers available in the core. Basically the largest number that a 32-bit CPU core can handle in one go is a little over 4.29 billion while a 64-bit core can handle a number of a bit over 18.44 billion, billion.

However, for most other things the 32-bit version is ok. 32-bit code uses up less memory, so you'll have more for other things. The limit on the memory the OS can use is not different, just the memory per process.

So it really depends what you want to use it for. If you're planning on developing software for large servers, or running large servers, use 64-bit. Otherwise use 32.

ix86 is an indication of the processor instruction set by generation of processor. For example: Intel Pentium, Intel Core2Duo, AMD K6. ix86 has been around for many years, if you have a processor made after 2000, it probably at least has the i686 instruction set. The absence of other indicators hints that this would be the 32 bit version.

x86_64 is indicating use of 64 bit registers and address space. Only choose this if you have a 64 bit processor and you want to use the 64 bit version of the operating system.

The choice is yours. I believe all AMD Turion processors have 64 bit support. You just need to decide if you want the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version of Arch Linux.

Basically, the different kernel designations identify which instruction set the compiler was told to optimize for. An i686 CPU can run i586 and i386 instructions, so, as you observed, an i686 can run an i386 kernel. However, it may not execute as optimally as one specifically compiled for an i686.

These are the designations you will typically run into:

x86_64 Processors

  • AMD's Athlon 64, Athlon 64-FX, and Opteron
  • Intel EMT64 processors - Nocona Xeon, Pentium 4's using the E0 revision of the Prescott core (AKA Pentium 4, model F)

i686 Processors * All Intel 32-bit Pentiums (excluding Pentium 1 and Pentium MMX) * All AMD 32-bit Athlons

i586 Processors

  • All 32-bit AMD Ks
  • Pentium 1
  • Pentium MMX

i386 Processors

  • A generic 'lowest common denominator' designation for Intel 80386 compatible CPUs (includes all of the above, but does not take advantage of extended instructions on those later CPUs).

What is the best way to determine whether my OS is 64-bit or 32-bit ?

Assume that, I directly on some os & I am going to install a software on it. But how to determine, whether OS is 32-bit or 64-bit,

What Is I586

OS may be anything, like

  • windows xp
  • vista
  • windows 7
  • os x leopard
  • os x snow leopard
  • Red hat linux

What I mean is - what is the best & common way to determine whether os is 64-bit or 32-bit?I mean, I am talking in general. I haven't installed os on someone's machine & if I tell you to determine its OS base - 64 or 32 ? then what would you do ?

Java 86 Or 64

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.Sugar.

In many Unix-like systems you can type in:

uname -a

For FreeBSD it looks like:

(amd64 means that this kernel is 64-bit)

For Linux:

(i386 means that this kernel is 32-bit)

For MacOSX:

(x86_64 means that this kernel is 64-bit)

Is Windows 10 X86 Or X64

If you were to do any actions using CMD scripting in Windows, you could start the batch file something like this:

Under Windows:

The GUI Way

  1. Press Win+R to open the Run.. Dialog
  2. Enter winmsd
  3. Look for row Processor or System type

If they begin with x86 you have 32-Bit otherwise you have 64-Bit

Using cmd.exe
Enter SET PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
x86 means 32-Bit, otherwise it's 64-Bit

Using Powershell
Enter $env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
Meaning is the same as with using cmd.exe

Beware
There are two different types of 64-Bit architectures.
One is AMD64 for x64 the other is ia64 for Itanium (not sure this value is exactly like that, never worked with any of them)

Stupid ways for Linux:

  1. To identify the kernel, cat /proc/kallsyms, check whether the symbols for kernel is 32 bits wide or 64 bits wide. Then you will know the kernel is 32 bits or 64bits.

  2. For the user application, just run:$file /bin/lsTo check whether the ls command is 32 bits or 64bits, since the os may contain both 32bitsand 64bits applications, this may not be wrong.

@paradroid - Thanks for the brainstorm ^^

I now use this for a Java program I distribute which needs Windows users to utilize javac. This script checks their architecture and opens the download to the proper version of JDK in their default browser..
