Yea, it's a weird naming thing. I believe AMD made a the first 64bit
processor, and the naming kept. Like i386. The 386's are ancient. But
they support all processors (non64). All you need to know that
i386=32bit and AMD64=64bit.

I think this confusion is cleared a little bit if you use
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Happy holidays!
