    The terminology is very confusing. X64 refers to 64-bit Windows (no surprise there), but X86 confusingly refers to 32-bit.

    So you want the X86 patch.

    Hi

    You will want to use the x86 version.

    x86 = 32bit operating system.

    x64 = 64bit operating system.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards

    It needs to be noted that when you install the Internet Explorer 9 for 64bit (x64,) it seems to update the "included" 32 bit version of Internet Explorer "automatically."   You would only need to get the x64 update for updating the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer.
