Java SE 6 Downloads. Go to the Oracle Java Archive page. Thank you for downloading this release of the Java TM Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK TM).The JDK is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language.
Normally, you see two types of downloads available for Windows platforms: x86 for 32-bit platform and x64 (or AMD64 or x86-64) for 64-bit. The x in x86 means any member of the x86 family, such as 286 (16-bit), 386 (32-bit), 486, and so on, all of which were based on the Intel 8086 architecture. This list includes the 586.
Jul 15, 2009 What's the difference between i586 vs. X8664 version of linux software? I have a 64-bit computer and I want to install the right. Mepis is very well targeted to typical Linux beginners who tend to have Windows experience and who want to do ordinary home computer things (web browsing, video editing, communicating with a Windows based home.

If it lists 32-bit Operating System, than the PC is running the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows. If it lists 64-bit Operating System, than the PC is running the 64-bit (x64) version of Windows.'

i686 is the 32-bit version, and x86_64 is the 64-bit version of the OS.
The 64-bit version will scale with memory better, particularly for workloads like large databases which need to use lots of ram in the same process. Do not consider running a (significant) database server on a 32-bit machine.
However, for most other things the 32-bit version is ok. 32-bit code uses up less memory, so you'll have more for other things. https://habrown329.weebly.com/jeep-renegade-software-update.html. The limit on the memory the OS can use is not different, just the memory per process.
So it really depends what you want to use it for. If you're planning on developing software for large servers, or running large servers, use 64-bit. Otherwise use 32.
ix86 is an indication of the processor instruction set by generation of processor. For example: Intel Pentium, Intel Core2Duo, AMD K6. ix86 has been around for many years, if you have a processor made after 2000, it probably at least has the i686 instruction set. The absence of other indicators hints that this would be the 32 bit version.
x86_64 is indicating use of 64 bit registers and address space. Only choose this if you have a 64 bit processor and you want to use the 64 bit version of the operating system.
The choice is yours. I believe all AMD Turion processors have 64 bit support. You just need to decide if you want the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version of Arch Linux.

Basically, the different kernel designations identify which instruction set the compiler was told to optimize for. An i686 CPU can run i586 and i386 instructions, so, as you observed, an i686 can run an i386 kernel. However, it may not execute as optimally as one specifically compiled for an i686.
These are the designations you will typically run into:
x86_64 Processors
AMD's Athlon 64, Athlon 64-FX, and Opteron
Intel EMT64 processors - Nocona Xeon, Pentium 4's using the E0 revision of the Prescott core (AKA Pentium 4, model F)
i686 Processors * All Intel 32-bit Pentiums (excluding Pentium 1 and Pentium MMX) * All AMD 32-bit Athlons
i586 Processors
All 32-bit AMD Ks
Pentium 1
Pentium MMX
i386 Processors
A generic 'lowest common denominator' designation for Intel 80386 compatible CPUs (includes all of the above, but does not take advantage of extended instructions on those later CPUs).

Windows I586 Vs X64 Windows 7
What is the best way to determine whether my OS is 64-bit or 32-bit ?
Assume that, I directly on some os & I am going to install a software on it. But how to determine, whether OS is 32-bit or 64-bit,
OS may be anything, like
windows xp
vista
windows 7
os x leopard
os x snow leopard
Red hat linux
What I mean is - what is the best & common way to determine whether os is 64-bit or 32-bit?I mean, I am talking in general. I haven't installed os on someone's machine & if I tell you to determine its OS base - 64 or 32 ? then what would you do ?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.Sugar.
If they begin with x86 you have 32-Bit otherwise you have 64-Bit
Using cmd.exe Enter SET PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE x86 means 32-Bit, otherwise it's 64-Bit
What Is I586
Using Powershell Enter $env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE Meaning is the same as with using cmd.exe
Beware There are two different types of 64-Bit architectures. One is AMD64 for x64 the other is ia64 for Itanium (not sure this value is exactly like that, never worked with any of them)

Stupid ways for Linux:
To identify the kernel, cat /proc/kallsyms, check whether the symbols for kernel is 32 bits wide or 64 bits wide. Then you will know the kernel is 32 bits or 64bits.
For the user application, just run:$file /bin/lsTo check whether the ls command is 32 bits or 64bits, since the os may contain both 32bitsand 64bits applications, this may not be wrong.

Is My Pc X64 Or X86
@paradroid - Thanks for the brainstorm ^^ Crash zone 9 download.
I now use this for a Java program I distribute which needs Windows users to utilize javac. This script checks their architecture and opens the download to the proper version of JDK in their default browser..
