Chad,

That answers my final question of which media to install from. And now I
even understand why. Thanks a million.

As long as they are 64bit questions, they shouldn't.  Intel adopted
the 64bit extensions that AMD had made for their own 64bit Xeon
series so the SW is the same.  It has the amd64 name since it started
with the AMD opteron, which for a while was the only chip with the
architecture.
