Dear Roberto,
  thank you very much for you answer. My processor is an AMD Athlon
(64bit). On debian.org I couldn't find any file for AMD, this is the list
I found (does AMD have any other name?):

    * Alpha
    * ARM
    * HP PA-RISC
    * Intel x86
    * Intel IA-64
    * Motorola 680x0
    * MIPS
    * MIPS (DEC)
    * PowerPC
    * IBM S/390
    * SPARC 

What should I use?

Ciao
Andrea
