Re: Win 7 AFP Driver - Itanium vs. AMD for Xeon

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

64-bit AMD = x64 = x86/64-bit.

While Intel distracted themselves with Itanium, AMD developed the 64-bit
extensions to x86 which we call x64.  With Itanium not gaining traction,
Intel added x64 support to their line of x86 CPUs.  IBM is one of the few
who retain acknowledgement of AMD's role in moving the desktop & mainstream
server markets to 64-bit.

So if you're running 32-bit Windows use the Win32.  If running 64-bit, use
the Win64 AMD.
