Re: Linux which one
Mandrake (now Mandriva) is Redhat based, pre-tuned for i686 (P-II or better)

A lot of X86_32 distros will be i586 (Pentium) compiles - if you need a 386/486 linux check carefully.

The other thing, if your CPU is X86_65 capable, is the choice between 32 bit or 64 bit - if you need to support more RAM, the choice is made for you.
