Its current wording sound like it excludes Athlon. If this is to be mentioned in the release documentation (and this probably is a good idea), it should go in the hardware list. Specifically: src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/hardware/i386/proc-i386.sgml The current text is pretty vague, it could use some fleshing out. I admit to being pretty clueless about non-Intel processors, so I'm probably the wrong person to try to do this. But I'd be happy to handle markup and proofreading for any text anyone would like to toss my way.
