Yes. The ix86 is forward compatible. Meaning: i386 will work on anything 386 and up. i486 works on anything 486 and up. (vary little or no 486 stuff these days) i586 works on anything 586 and up. i686 works on anything 686 and up. As another point to the architecture part of the file naming convention. When you see a filename with noarch as the architecture, it means that the program is architecture independent and will run on any of the kernels within the corresponding distribution.
