+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #722258 +++ Description of problem: Before I installed my system (the first time) I checked the documentation and it said that "The N and Z Series Atom processors are based on the i386 architecture." so I used the i386 version of Fedora. Once loaded I learned of the lshw program. When I ran this on my Atom N550 it returned saying that it was capable of x86_64 and was a 64bit CPU. Upon seeing this I have now re-installed using the x86_64 architecture and the system is running fine. Whether the statement in the documentation was true in the past, I do not know, but it appears that it is now true any more. Additional info: Section that is affected is specifically 2.1.2. Which Architecture Is My Computer? --- Additional comment from rimmer100 on 2011-07-14 15:07:24 EDT --- *not true any more. --- Additional comment from rimmer100 on 2011-10-09 10:45:33 EDT --- This can be verified from the following URL on the intel website. http://ark.intel.com/products/50154/Intel-Atom-Processor-N550-%281M-Cache-1_50-GHz%29 Also the link to part of the intel website on this document page is broken.
