Why, no.  ia64 is for the Itanium processor line which uses a  
different architecture and is not compatible with the standard x86 32- 
bit or 64-bit platforms.  What you want instead is the amd64 platform,  
which is known as "EM64T" for the Intel Xeon/P4/Core/Core2 chips:

if you look at the disc 2 and 3, the size is 364K is it ok?. I'd like to
install freebsd in a intel core 2 duo. Should I instal this ia64?

Thanks for your help.
