Since the Pentium classic, the x86 name for processors has gotten hard to assign to a processor type. What processors are considered i686?

 

[A5]

I think it is PPro, P2, P3, etc. I don't think that includes Athlon cores though. Remember, this is for Linux.

 

[Ben98SentraSE]

Right, and one of my Linux boxes is running a K62. Is that considered a i686? Or just PPro, P2, PIII, Celeron, Athlon, and Duron?

 

[A5]

I think K6-2 is i586. If you use the Redhat distro, the nongraphic login screen will tell you what it is.

It would say something like this:

Redhat 6.2(Zoot) on a i_86

slightly OT, Is there any caching software for linux?(like seti driver etc.) Thanks

 

[Michael]

I know there's a link off the main SETI page to a script that uses nested directories to run a bunch of instances of SETI, one after the other. This results in a chache.

Athlons come up as 686. I have Red Hat.

BTW, there's also setiathome-3.0.i386-sco-sysv5.unixware7.tar and setiathome-3.0.sparc-sun-solaris2.6.tar now.

the intel 686 is the pentium pro, p2, p3, and celeron. the athlon is not an i686 by any measure. it is i386 compatible, though, as it uses the IA-32 instruction set as its exterior set (it uses a completely different one internally, like the i686 does

OK,

just started it on a PIII500 Red Hat 6.0 box,

I'll let you know how long it takes...
