What architecture should I select to install aptitude on XEON E5430?

Hi
I want to install Aptitude on Debian 5.0.1 running on Xeon E5430
I believe Xeon E5430's architecture is Intel 64 (x86-64).

On the aptitude download webpage I have to select among the following architectures:

Architecture
alpha
amd64
arm
armel
hppa
i386
ia64
mips
mipsel
powerpc
s390
sparc

(sorry I still cannot post URL)

I do know know which architecture one I should choose for XEON E5430.

- ia64? This is Intel Itanium's 64 bit architecture.
- amd64? This is AMD's 64 bit architecture.
- i386? This is 32 bit architecture.

Thanks!

I would go for the AMD64.

AMD64 does not mean that it works only on AMD 64-bit.

AMD64 is the architecture name of both Intel and AMD 64-bit processors.

Hope I have understood the question correctly.

Isn't Aptitude part of the default base system?
