Hello. I noticed Debian doesn't make AMD K7 Kernels anymore as of
2.6.24. I assume this will be like this for future versions.

I am planning to upgrade my Kernel from 2.6.22-1-k7. Do I use amd64 or
686? I am not planning to use any 64-bit stuff on my old Athlon 64 3200+
754 single core machine (512 MB of RAM (will add 512 MB soon)) and X2
4600+ machine (2 GB of RAM).

Are there any advantages and disadvantages between 686 and amd64 beside
being able to use more memory which I doubt I am going to (2 GB is
enough). My machines are mainly workstation to do simple tasks like Web
browsing, e-mails, watch videos, newsgroups in Pan and tin, chat/IM, a
simple private server, etc. I recall using 64-bit requires more
libraries or something and lack some stuff (e.g., Adobe Flash).

Thank you in advance.
