Is my PowerPC chip 64-bit?

I want to download mysql, but there's two choices offered: for PPC and for PPC 64-bit. Which one do I want?

PB G4 Aluminum, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi Silkroad

From the info at the bottom of your post, I'd advise on downloading the PPC version - as far as I know, the only Mac to be 64-bit is the PowerMac G5. The G4, to my knowledge is 32-bit, with a 128-bit AltiVec engine on board.

Hope that helps

Michael
