With Core 2 Duo either i386 or amd64. You can use either, although if you are planning on using NVIDIA cards their binary driver only works on i386.

Okay, thanks guys.
Guess I better figure out why the install fails on i386 (was hoping amd64 was gonna be a magic fix for me ;)

The question is, how much memory you have and for what purpose are you going to use this machine.

If you have around 3GB of RAM or you are a desktop user, I would recommend to use i386, because every port will work for you.
