The P4 520 does not support EM64T, and is thus a standard 32 bit processor. x86 is what you want.

That's just a normal 32-bit PC so just the 32-bit version. Like with Windows the 64-bit version is only for 64-bit PCs like those with an AMD64 processor. So if you've got 32-bit Windows you'd be safe in getting 32-bit Linux.
