[ALUG] 32/64-bit? Intel T2390

[(Ted Harding)]

Hi Folks,
Once upon a time I didn't need to ask this kind of question ...

I'm about to install Linux (probably Debian) on a laptop which
has an Intel Core Duo T2390 CPU.

So I'm wondering whether it I should use i386 or ia64.

I *think* (but am not sure) that this chip has 64-bit capability
(though that may need to be enabled somehow). Presumably i386
would work anyway, but it would be nice to enjoy the benefits
of 64-bit architecture if available!

Since this is my first time facing this question, I'm totally
naive about the installation implications, and would welcome
informed advice and/or comments!

With thanks,
Ted.
