Hi:

I would like to test Debian on a new PC.

It's a DELL XPS Inspiron 8100 with a Core i5 64 bits processor.

What would it be the recommended architecture/versioin to choose for download an install?

Could Intel IA-64 work right?

Regards

Not IA64 , that's Itanium; amd64 will work for you.

No, IA-64 is for Intel Itanium CPUs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium . You want i386 (32bit) or amd64
(64bit). There are still minor issues with 64bit desktops. For
example, Adobe's 64bit flash player does not function on all the sites
that the 32bit plugin will.

try using ia32-libs package
worst case install a 32 bit chroot by spending a few hundred mb of space
