i686 is IA32 (Intel Architecture); which means any current Athlon, PIII, P4, Celeron, Duron. The Mandrake rpms are basically as optimized for i586 or i686 as needed I think; and I doubt you'd get much of a performance increase by rebuilding. There have been "cooker" people that did so, but I don't know if it was ever decided if the return was sufficient to justify the time to rebuild everything required. For those using VIA and Transmeta chips all bets are off anyway.

Think Athlon 64 3400+. Next Tuesday release I believe B. (-: You and I both seem to need to build ourselves new systems, probably more a necessity for me since I'm still running an old PIII 500 from 1998. My next will be based on AMD64; probably a dual processor unit of some description.
