i386 is the minimum, that uses the same instructionset as the 386 (same for 486, i586 (for pentium and i686 for pentium 2,3,4))

use k7 for amd processors

i386 will work on most processors (amd and pentium alike) than you can install the other optimized instructionsets, so if it doesn't work, isn't stable, or whatever you still can fall back on something that works.
