Hi, first of all, from what I know ia64 won't=20 work... That release is for the itanium kinda cpus... You have the choice between amd64 version (it=20 works with processor having the emt64 extensions=20 like the xeon) or the i386 version. If all you need will be compiled from the ports,=20 I highly recommend the amd64 version... If you are planning on installing precompiled=20 binairies you'll find that there is no support=20 nowhere for the amd64 version so I recommend to use i386 Hope this helps
