I want to download suse linux 10.1 I found my mirror but I dont know which option to chose,

1. x86 or x86-64 or ppc or Checksums or what?
2. x86
   This architecture supports the following processors:
   * Intel Pentium 1-4, Celeron, 32bit Xeon, Celeron D
   * AMD K6, Duron, Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Sempron

   x86-64
   This architecture supports the following processors:
   * AMD Opteron, Athlon 64, AMD Athlon 64 X2, Sempron 64, Turion 64
   * Intel Xeon, Xeon MP, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, Pentium D
   * Processors based on AMD's AMD64 & Intel's EM64T (Intel's implementation of AMD64)

   to see what CPU you have:
   click on the [Start] button
   click on Run…
   enter
   C:WINDOWSsystem32devmgmt.ms…
   click on Processors
   if you get some sort of "generic / Standart CPU" you may want to upgrade your BIOS (post another question with details about your PC (brand, model, aso.))

3. Give it up and use ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com. Easy to use and configure.Had the same problem. The main advantage is support and program availability.
4. x86, if your pc is not xeon/comapitble processor 64 bit
