i have a AMD XP 2200 chip. what version of freebsd i need to download.

You want the i386 distribution.  The Athlon XP is still only a 32-bit
processor, so the amd64 is unusable.
I'm thinking about installing 5.3 on box with an AMD Sempron 2800.  I 
think (?) that the Sempron is based on a 64-bit core.

So would I use the amd64 version?

The i386 release will work and will run fast, but if you want to use 
64-bit enhancements you'll need the amd64 port.
