Hello

I am downloading Centos, but I don't know What is the difference between Centos 5 and Centos 5.0

None, currently. 5 is a link pointing to the latest 5.x release, and until 5.1 hits the streets, "max[x] = 0".

also as far as I remember any rpm or file ending with 64 designed for AMD 64 bit, can I install CentOS-5.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso on Intel 64 bit as well ?

As long as it is not IA64.

For a server, x86_64 is probably a no-brainer. For a desktop, if you want to avoid issues with browser 32-bit plugins, etc. and don't NEED the 64-bit, may want to stick with i386 release.
