You can check the versions installed by running
rpm -q openssl --qf "%{ARCH}\n"
For an athlon, I would expect you to be using the i686 packages. But you
definitely don't want to upgrade an i686 glibc package to an i386 one,
because an oversight in the packaging is likely to leave you with an
unusable system.
