i586 processor & FC12

I read the i586 processor is no longer supported in FC12.

I don't know what the i486, i586 and i686 mean... Intel goes by Pentium xxxx. I have a Pentium 4 2.2GHz processor, is this supported????

Flashbacks... i586 were those Pentium 60 Mhz and Pentium 66 Mhz, great memories.

I have a bunch of Intel/AMD processors back to the dinosaur ages. Even those heavy Pentium Pro processors.

Ok, here is a good link:
