There is no good reason to install i386 on a Core 2.  64-bit is working 
great, except for Flash.  i386 has too many limits.

The correct distribution is AMD64.  EMT64 (Intel) is virtually identical 
to AMD64, and both are covered by the AMD64 distribution, and in fact, 
can both run a "generic" AMD64 kernel.

ia64 is *NOT* what you want.
