"i386" is the architecture; it includes all the similar processors including the 486, Pentiums, Athlon, etc. Other architectures are completely different hardware, eg Sun's SPARC. The 686-class is the specific processor within the i386 architecture. if you look in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf you'll see a list of options for CPUTYPE. athlon-xp might be the closest to your cpu. However, some folks here recommend against using overly specific cpu optimization. You can go safe and just use pentium4 -RW
