Hello,

I have to assume they use slightly different instruction sets, right? Does =
AMD64 just imply that the programmers wrote the software with AMD's particu=
lar chips in mind? One of those annoying articles written by "Contributor" =
sent me here, saying you don't use both terms interchangably.


Thanks,
