Chipset Arch.
How do you find the correct download, for your boxen? For instance all of the mirror sites list the X86-64 architecture, which I take to mean AMD but my boxen has an Intel quad core processor and I can't afford to buy another board and AMD X86-64 setup. So how do I find the download for 386 chipsets? As there doesn't appear to be a mirror set up for them or is the X86-64 download compatible with my Intel chipset? Thanks fer any light you can shed on this for me.

amd64 (amd's trademarked architechture name and the correct architecture name)/x86-64 (what intel calls theirs rather than call them amd-64) also applies to MOST Intel cpu's. If you've got anything core2 or newer mainline, or baytrail or newer atom, x86-64 is what you want.
