What -|specifically are the others? I have the latest Pentium 4 with -|hyperthreading. What is that CPU in this naming scheme? -| -|Thanks in advance! -| -|John -| Actually, it's not quite that 'new'. I286 - Intel 80286 processors (286/286sx) I386 - Intel 80386 processors (386/386sx) I486 - Intel 80486 processors (486/486sx/486dx2/4) I586 - Intel 80586 processors (Pentium/Pentium MMX) .... Etc. i686 is the "current" processor model, but a lot of packages are in i386 format in some distros, it just depends on how they were compiled. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
