Jake, can you be more specific what the problem you're having with the software center is. I think if Ubuntu reports an amd64 operating system, you are are using the main 64bit version. –  Trent Palmer Oct 27 '12 at 21:23
Please be more specific on what the problem is, your question is making no sense. –  Evandro Silva Oct 27 '12 at 21:34
amd64 is the instruction set which all 64 bit PC architecture CPU's will use. There is no problem. Please be more specific about your software center problems; your question appears to be incomplete. –  fabricator4 Oct 27 '12 at 21:45

Your problem isn't actually a problem.

AMD64 is the Jargon term for a 64-bit Operating system (Universally), in the same way that i386 is the term for a 32-bit operating system. Other terms for 64-bit Operating systems include x64, which most people refer it to as.
