Not sure why it gave me 7.2 when I selected 2003x64, but the last version that specifically mentions 2003x64 is 6.5:

Be sure to follow the Installation Instructions found on the download page for each ISO.

Might be the same file, but it is not a Dell download ... be wary of non-Dell downloads (even if it is an EDU ... EDU sites are not always monitored internally).

Actually, it is not the same ... that link is for 6.5.0 ... the one I linked is 6.5.3 ... sometimes those x.x.something sub-versions can be for only a small number of systems, so while 6.5.0 might work, it might only be for a few systems (perhaps not even for a 2950).
