AMD K6-2 identified as i586?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Running RH 8.0 on a Compaq Presario 7470.

KDE -> Preferences -> Information -> Processor ID's my
AMD K6-2 as "CPU family 5". Is this saying it's a
pentium  - not a pentium-II class processor? 

My concern is with installing RPMs optimized for i686,
whether this will cause any problems. 

Up until now, I've always stuck with those optimized
for i386 (i.e. generic) or i586.

Thanks in advance for any help,

J. Ingersoll, jr.
