For an intel processor, you want the x86 version. SPARC and x86 refer to the processor architecture. SPARC comes from Sun, and it's unlikely you're using a SPARC chip without knowing it.

I believe it can. As to the second part of your question, X86 no doubt. An X86 processor is an Intel processor, a SPARC is not.

For intel you have to go for X86. SPARC versions are for sun SPARC machines.
