Processor architecture has very little to do with the manufacturer.
However, here a few reasons for it being called amd64:
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 Naming conventions.
2) http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html
3) http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/
4) http://www.netbsd.org/ports/amd64/

I run two pure amd64 operating systems on this box. No 32bit libraries.

History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#64-b...r_timeline


Anyone with an understanding of computers wouldn't be so trivial
about such a matter.

What operating system(s) do you have currently installed and which have you used before?

Myself, I have FreeBSD amd64 and Debian(GNU/Linux) amd64 "lenny" on this box. No 32bit libraries.

NetBSD i386 on the laptop.

Debian (GNU/Linux) i386 "lenny" and Fedora Core 6 i386 on the other box.
I've used Minix, plan9, beos, l4/Linux, MIT exokernel, Atari TOS, Commodore64's OS, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, Timex Sinclair's OS, Wang computer's native OS, Windows DOS based releases, Windows NT based releases, and GNU/Hurd.


DELL only assembles the components.

HP, IBM, Acorn, Motorola, Lucent, Freescale, etc make both processors and computers.

Have you tried another OS on the box?
