I assume you're trying to choose which installation instructions to use?
If your computer is a standard PC and runs a Windows product it is Intel
x86.  If it is SUN hardware, SPARC, and so on.  Tell us more about the
computer if this doesn't help enough.

If you already have Debian installed run -
$ arch

or
$ uname -m

to spit our your machine architecture.

For installation purposes, yes. Later, if you upgrade your kernel, you might want to be more specific (Intel Pentium, or Pentium II, or PIII, or Celeron, or AMD K7, or etc etc etc).
