That's okay. The ia64 architecture is / was the older 64-Bit processor version from Intel (often refereed to as "Itanium"). For the 64-Bit processors currently sold by Intel you indeed need the images for the AMD64 architecture (since this kind of 64 bit processors was firstly created by AMD and later adopted by Intel). For further details please see http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#which-cd and the links to respective architectures. Best Regards, Alexander
