Hello,

the answer depends on the spec of your processor. The most Pentium IV are not 64 bit Arch. so you can use i386. Further informations about your Processor is in your manual for the Processor or on your bill.

Its totally up to you, if you don't know the difference most probably you are better off with the i386: it is better supported by restricted software and the memory foorprint is also better.

I thinsk it's better to use i386, because there are many packages which don't work with 64 bit version

Can you help with this problem?
