When I first set up my mediawiki (1.5beta4), I didn't have ImageMagick installed. I then decided to add that capability, downloading and installing the binaries for ImageMagick 5.5.7 (dynamic) and php_imagick.dll. Note that Imagick does not work with the static version or version 6 of ImageMagick (PHP5.0.4 complains that it cannot find the dll).
We don't use any ImageMagick PHP extension, just shelling out to the executable.
Note that this may be a crucial mistake: you need to set $wgImageMagickConvertCommand in LocalSettings.php to the appropriate executable, which maybe you wouldn't think to do if you thought you were using a PHP extension.
