This page contains information about the FreeBSD/i386 platform. This architecture supports the largest variety of CPUs since most home users purchase these machines. If you have a machine - from any large PC company (such as Dell™, HP™, eMachines™) - chances are that you have either an AMD™ or Intel™ CPU and thus + from any large PC company (such as Dell™, HP, or eMachines®) + chances are that you have either an AMD™ or Intel® CPU and thus fall into this category.
FreeBSD CURRENT (6) no longer supports the original - Intel™ 80386 CPU; these computers are over seven years - old and are only supported by 5.X and earlier. Note that the - GENERIC kernel only supports 80386 CPUs in 4.X and earlier. +
