I have an Hp/Compaq laptop, intel, 2 processors, using 64 bit.
I want to install Java 5 SDK, I see references to AMD 64 bit, I am assuming that is different from intel?
Is there a Java 5 sdk for my environment?

Best Answer
You see AMD 64 because AMD developed a 64 bit architecture before Intel and thus the name amd64 stuck, but any binary labeled amd64 works on a Intel 64 bit processor.
You can download the amd64 build of the JDK and install it on your laptop without problems for running software such as Tomcat or Eclipse, however a 32-bit browser might not be able to run a 64-bit Java browser plugin (i.e. you may have problems running Java applets from a browser).
