Hi, first of all, from what I know ia64 won't work... That release is for the itanium kinda cpus... You have the choice between amd64 version (it works with processor having the emt64 extensions like the xeon) or the i386 version. If all you need will be compiled from the ports, I highly recommend the amd64 version... If you are planning on installing precompiled binairies you'll find that there is no support nowhere for the amd64 version so I recommend to use i386 Hope this helps
