How to install linux on AMD pc

I tried installing from the "x86_64" 5 cd disks but when I tried booting up,
it said something about long mode and 32 bit version. Sorry don't remember
the error exactly. So, I downloaded the i386 ISO and the install went fine.
After the install completed and rebooted it gave me that same error. I don't
want to blindly download and waste any more CD's so if someone could help me
out here I'd appreciate it.I don't know the exact model number of my cpu,
just that its an Athlon 1800 1.53ghz.
