Post from another news group: > As I understand it, i686 = PPro, P2 or higher (including Celeron), or K6 > or higher. This is largely correct. But there is a proviso regarding the AMD K6 series in that these processors lack the CMOVxx family of instructions from the i686 architecture. Apart from that they are i686-compliant. [I have verified this, as I am using a K6-III to write this message.] The AMD K7 series (Athlon, Thunderbird, Palomino, etc.) are fully i686-compliant -- Regards, Dave [RLU#314465] ====================================================== dwnoon@spamtrap.ntlworld.com (David W Noon) -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org]On Behalf Of Sandor Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:37 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: IDS-9.40 and i686 compatible "Thanh Ma" <thanhma@comcast.net> wrote in message news:<bg476d$te1$1@terabinaries.xmission.com>... > Hi, > > I guess I can dig this info out somewhere but if you happen to know please > share what Intel/AMD processors are 'i686 compatible' ?
