Core2Duo is amd64, not ia64. I believe that ia64 is used in some
servers, but the common one is amd64 as the previous poster said.

IA-64 - Intel Itanium and Itanium2 processors.
Core 2 is Intel64/EMT64/AMD64/X86_64 (different names of the same thing)
You should use amd64 debian port.
Try reading some wiki-articles:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64

Like he said you probably don't want ia64. If you don't know if your
running Itanium, I would say you probably not running Itanium

Tanco,

I think all Debian install disks are configured to boot on the target
hardware. They contain boot sector information which includes
executable machine code for the target cpu. The OS that they load onto
the hardware can only function on the target hardware type. On your
hardware, ia64 machine code crashes well before it is in any condition
to issue an error message, much less paint a multicolored screen
image.

It is misleading to suggest that the problem is that ia64 is a rare
or unpopular or whatever architecture. Try the CD for PowerPC
architecture, or for ARM. I think you will experience the same
behavior (that is if you are not actually using PowerPC or ARM ;-)

More over, to install amd64 guest OS into virtualbox, you probably need
CPUs that support VT-X, and need that feature enabled in both virtualbox
and BIOS. You may check whether your CPUs support that feature by:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx

Besides, please note in some weird BIOS VT-X cannot be turned on
