Newbie Here - Which File To Download?

Id like to get the Rc3 version
Im running an emachine celeron so its 32bit
is this the correct file
pfSense-2.0-RC3-4g-i386-20110621-1821-nanobsd.img.gz
I notices there are many choices ie RC3-4g or 3g or 2g etc, what is the difference? dis I select the appropiate image above

As that is an FAQ, it's found in the FAQ on the doc wiki…

To be fair I have come here with exactly the same question and I don't believe the FAQ does a good enough job of explaining the files. For a non-CF installation what file should we be downloading ?
