Which python to install if I have an Intel Core i7 and 64-Bit Windows 7?


I have to install Python 2.5.4 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/ which is required for the pcraster program.

However there are three python choices
For x86 processors: python-2.5.4.msi
For Win64-Itanium users: python-2.5.4.ia64.msi
For Win64-AMD64 users: python-2.5.4.amd64.msi

I know I have Win64 but I am not sure if my i7 processor is Itanium or AMD? Can someone knowledgeable please help me?
