osx-intel is for 32-bit Macs (still from time when Apple only
distinguished between ppc/intel) and osx-ppc for 32-bit PowerPC.

However you cannot buy 32-bit hardware any more and you cannot choose
to install a 32-bit system on 64-bit hardware (unless you install
ancient OS which nobody does and which might not even work due to lack
of drivers). So anyone who has bought a mac after Snow Leopard has
been released (late 2009?) has 64-bit Mac OS X.
