why can't debian.org rename the amd64 iso to amd-intel64.iso ? i think it is a clearly link name and this should be to avoid also downloading the incorrect image and check out the bootmessage in a second step...
on this page: http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst i miss realy a information about : which image for which architecture, ok most of the links are self-explanatory, except the intel em64 (amd64) iso.
