Good tip, Griffin. I expect that will work, but if it doesn't, try
using a 32-bit version of Debian. Start with the amd64 though
since you'll benefit from the 64-bit kernel.<br>
<br>
Everybody: If you don't already know the answer, this might be a
good opportunity to Google "difference between 32 bit and 64 bit"
and scan a few of the results.<br>

<p>The debian FAQ recommends running the amd64 iso on all 64 bit
architecture, whether you have an AMD or Intel chipset. Try
downloading that iso.</p>

Nope, using Windows 7 (64 bit).
<div>I tried installing Debian, but it gives me the error "<span><font

Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span
style="font-size:14px;line-height:21px">“This kernel
requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.
Unable to boot – please use a kernel appropriate for
your CPU”. One site I found about this said
the solution is to change a BIOs setting, but I'm
concerned about changing BIOs settings. Is this really
the solution? Did I get the wrong Debian iso? </span></font><br>
