<h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>
<p>This page contains information about the FreeBSD/i386 platform.
This architecture supports the largest variety of CPUs since
most home users purchase these machines. If you have a machine
from any large PC company (such as Dell&trade;, HP, or eMachines&reg;)
chances are that you have either an AMD&trade; or Intel&reg; CPU and thus
fall into this category.</p>

<h3><a name="news">Latest News</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p>FreeBSD 6.0 and newer no longer supports the original
Intel 80386 CPU; these computers are over seven years
old and are only supported by FreeBSD 5.X and earlier. Note that the
GENERIC kernel only supports 80386 CPUs in FreeBSD 4.X and earlier.
