i386 = Intel Based PC CPU (Any Intel or AMD cpu will use this)
alpha = Alpha based CPU architecture
ia64 = 64 bit based Intel Based CPU
amd64 = 64 bit based AMD CPU
pc98 = not sure on this one, never heard of it.
sparc64 = 64 bit Sparc Platform
So basically, if you have an Intel or AMD cpu that isn't 64 bit, which you probably don't, you'll use the i386. Its basically the cpu architecture when choosing.
