Aka x64, aka AMD64, aka EM64T.

This is the 64bit you're looking for. The 64bit extensions for the
32bit x86 architecture have been developed by AMD, and later licensed
by Intel and then branded as EM64T. Microsoft calls this architecture
x64. Linux calls it amd64. System i Access also calls it amd64. It's
all the same though.

Aka IA64. This is Itanium. This is not what you're looking for.

No, you're running the correct version.
