I know it has Intel Core 2 Duo T5750, all I know is that it is 64 bit? I am trying to figure out what version of debian linux to use. The debian site with all the options would be the following: http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/ Please help me with this.

Nikola is wrong. It does say "amd64" but that doesn’t mean only amd processors. Despite being Intel, yours falls into that category.
It can also run the i386 version.
So either amd64 or i386.
Since your laptop has Intel processor (and yes, its 64bit), but you won’t be able to download the 64 bit version, since they support only AMD 64 bit processors.
Download this 32 bit version: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/i386/bt-cd/ and it will work perfectly. 32 bit versions work with 64 bit processors without any problems at all. You probably wouldn’t see the 64bit difference anyway, unless you are a really geeky!
