A nice system.

I recommend that you install the Intel x86 version. It is the most
commonly used architecture and will present you with the easiest
experience.

No. The IA-64 architecture is a different one from your Intel core2
duo. It will not work on your machine.
Your Intel core2 duo implements the AMD64 architecture and you may
install the AMD64 64-bit system on your machine. There are both
advantages and disadvantages to running this architecture. I do like
the amd64 64-bit system and run it myself on my systems. However it
is not compatible with many of the popular non-free and binary only
32-bit desktop applications and if you are also wanting to run some of
those (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, Flash, other multimedia video codecs) then
you would need special configurations in order to run them in a 32-bit
environment in/on the 64-bit system. And since you are asking I will
recommend that you start and install a typical 32-bit system.
