I thought he was asking because the id of the chip jumped a lot to
coddle WinNT. (PIII is 7, PIV is 15, look at the binary
representation and what NT does to know why Intel did that. Google
will surely tell you.)

Whatever you want, basically. i386 will work, or 1486 or i586 or
i686. I'd go for i686 if I were you (I don't think there is a i786
designation).
