  Hardware:
  Dell PowerEdge 2950 III having 2 x CPU 3,0 GHz Intel Xeon L5450 Quad-Core
  2x6MB cache WITH 16 GB RAM.

  1. FreeBSD 7 Production Release

  3. MySQL 5.1.26

Clearly amd64.

The ia64 port wouldn't run on your hardware at all, because
it is for the Itanium/Merced platforms.  The i386 port would
run, but it's only 2bit so it wouldn't be able to use all of
your RAM (unless you enable the PAE option which as its own
set of problems).  Also, MySQL runs faster when compiled for
64bit.

Best regards

Considering the amount of RAM in the box, AMD64 would prob be best for your 
needs. 
If you need 32-bit software or features go with i386 instead but you wont have 
access to all the RAM

ia64 is for Itanium-based systems only
