hello, this is not really directly related to accessibility but perhaps may be a problem as such. I have a machine with intel core2 duo (sentrino ) t5500 processor with 1.6 ghz/2 specification. is this a genuan 64 bit processor? should I use ubuntu 64 bit with all t5500 core2 processors for optimul performance?

Basically,your processor supports 64 bit operation thanks to the EM64T technology.It's not completely 64 bit,rather it supports both 32 bit and 64 bit operation.You can use Ubuntu 64 bit provided the rest of your hardware works which you can check out with the Live CD.Which I believe is completely unnecessary for ME to tell YOU. *smiley*
