amd64 might imply AMD only. This is wrong.

amd64 means Intel and AMD.

↑ Unsupported: VMware
↑ In case used as VM check Increase Virtual Machine RAM
↑ The virtual machine can work with as low as 256 MB RAM, but resource intensive operations like kernel package upgrades that rebuild the initrd might leave the virtual machine in a frozen state. It might run with 196 MB RAM or even less. Experimentation with RAM lower than 256 MB is up to the user; please share your results.
