The Linux Debian (5) told me that my computer “capable of running modern 64-bit operating systems.” He recommends that I have a 64-bit version of Debian download. But I know that my x86 processor. Should I just use the installer I now use, or should the AMD64 version of Debian?

Most x86 processors made in the last three to five years have been 64bit capable.
You are not obliged to use the 64bit installer. You may not be able to find 64bit versions of some of the apps you want to use.
At least you have the choice…
X86 is just an architect of the chip, it can be either a 32bit or a 64bit, which simple is the number of the data bus lines designed into the chip. If you have Windows you can open the control panel, go to system and open it. In the screen it should tell you what it is running.
The 32bit version of Linux will run on virtually all computers, where the 64bit will only run on a 64bit system.
