    IA64 is not a desktop CPU, you should use amd64 for 64-bit installation or i386 for 32-bit. I recommend you download netinstall ISO image, it was around 200 MB if my memory serves me correct. Itanium processors (IA64) are designed for hi-performance servers.

    Take a look at the link in my signature. It'll get you started on looking for a new distro.
