Correction: 
-i386 is for 32 bit INTEL-COMPATIBLE processors, and also for 64 bit AMD-COMPATIBLE processors with a 32 bit operating system.
-amd64 is for 64 bit AMD-COMPATIBLE processors (includes all Intel 64 bit processors, except Itanium)
-lpia is for intel atom

In general, if you have to ask, you probably need i386.
