Correct, as far as I can tell this is true. uname -p shows i686, rhn shows it as an i686 and that the i686 kernel is installed. I could be wrong, but when the box was on 8, I thought it used the i586 kernel. I haven't seen any ill effects so far. Maybe something has changed in the kernel or gcc and the Via C3 really is i686 architecture?
