Those are not locations, but types of downloads. You can get the regular X86 version which will work with just about any PC, then there is X86_64 which is for 64bit processors though either of these two will work on a 64bit machine. "PPC" is for MAC's if I'm not mistaken.

Beyond that, you have the choice of how to download the DVD image. Which I leave up to you.

Most computers will me i386 named after the old 8086,386, and 486 CPUs also known as x86

Im not sure what PPC means. I always assumed it was Pocket PC (PDA)
