Intel Celeron processors are 32-bit processors and can't run 64-bit
operating systems.  You need an AMD Athlon-64, AMD Opteron or Intel
Xeon-64 processor to run the x68_64 version.  You should download and
install the x86 version.

Note that the 64-bit processors I mention above can run EITHER the
x86_64 (64-bit) or x86 (32-bit) operating systems.
