x86 or x86_64 ISO Download

Hi,

Here's the result:

[root at mars root]# /root>cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 6
model           : 4
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) Processor
stepping        : 2

bogomips        : 1815.34


Does it mean I need to get the x86_64 ISO?

Thanks,
