They indicate two different computer architectures: i386 indicates Intel 386 and subsequent processors (i486 and Pentium/Pro/MMX/II/III/4), as well as compatible processors from AMD, Cyrix, VIA and others. PPC stands for PowerPC, a more recent computer architecture devised by IBM, Motorola and Apple, and used mostly, but not exclusively, on Apple iMacs, PowerMacs and PowerBooks. If you have a Windows compatible PC then you are using an x86 computer and must download the i386 files. If you have a PowerMac or ther PowerPC computer, then you must download the PPC files. I hope you will find this information useful.
