I am running

a Intel® Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80GHz × 2
with 2 gigs of ram
with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 32-bit

Can I install ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso on this machine? I am a new Linux user and am thinking the amd64 means its for a amd64 processor Thanks in advance Jess

Intel has a page on this processor.

According to it, that CPU does support the 64-bit architecture. So, yes, you can install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu on your computer.

Bear in mind: If you were hoping to "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit, well, you can't, at least not in a way that would take less time than a backup and reinstall.
