Turbolinux is using i686, as part of the merge of the core parts, we have to standardize on a common arch for code pkgs. So it may be a good occasion to switch: i686 implies "cpuid family >= 6" + cmov Intel - 1995: first i686, Pentium Pro - 1997: last i586, Pentium MMX AMD - 2000: i586, K6-2+ (also K6-III ??) - 2001: first i686, K7 (Athlon) - 2002: last i586, Geode LX is anyone still using a Geode GX, Geode LX, or K6? refs: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_P6 - http://www.kerneler.org/index.php?title=CPU (says K6-III is family 6) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K6-III (says K6-III is family 5) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode_%28processor%29
