That's correct but it uses a lot of the same features as the k7 with a 
few extra so the k7 is the best fit on a 32 bit install.  There was a 
-k8 kernel on i386 ( and it was reinstated for a while so may still be 
available ) but, you can run into problems with compiling modules, for 
example, as the compiler expects a 64-bit os and bombs out.
