Also, from
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/win32/v6r1m0/servicepack/si35607/Downloads.txt
:

1) Download the service pack file that targets your PC's processor type to a
   directory on your PC or server. Use the following table to determine the
   directory and file name of each download:

   FTP DIRECTORY    FILE NAME          TARGET PROCESSOR TYPE
   -------------    ---------------    ---------------------
   image32          SI35607_32.EXE     32-bit
   image64a         SI35607_64A.EXE    AMD 64-bit, Intel 64-bit Xeon
   image64i         SI35607_64I.EXE    Itanium
