Talking about 'brand new high-end' is pushing things a bit. The last significant generation of non-x64 CPUs was the Intel Core series in 2006; since the Core 2 series came out in 2007 Intel's barely made a non-x64 CPU any more (they continued production of some existing models till 2008, but there was a definite handover). That's *ten years ago*. AMD hasn't made one since 2003 or so, apart from the very niche Geode series. We don't support i586 any more, no matter whether you can find one in some dusty basement somewhere. We're gonna have to cut off i686 at *some* point. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
