FreeBSD question

I was interested in downloading FreeBSD but when I went to see what platforms I could download it for, I didnt recognize any of them. The choices were i386, Alpha, IA-64, AMD64, and Sparc64. I wanted to put FreeBSD on computer with a Pentium 4. Is this possible, and if so, which one is the one i want. If not, what kind of computer do i need to go get?
