which iso is right one for Athlon XP 1.8G?

I will have ethernet connection while installing but which  CD iso do I need? 
Sorry about the real newbie question.

A. archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-i686.iso               i686/32bit CD-ISO
B. archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-x86_64.iso          x86_64/64bit CD-ISO

thanks in advance.

The Athlon XP is not a amd64 compatible CPU so you have to use the i686 iso.

Anything before Athlon64 doesn't have 64 bit support. It's pretty easy with AMD .
