Howdy,
  I want to revise that a bit.

 Intel/AMD/Via architecture note:
  i386 refers to processors that have support for the Intel 32 bit instructions. In order to take advantage of certain compiler optimizations, a 686 processor or higher with cmov support is needed.
 amd64 refers to processors using the 64 bit instruction set extension created by AMD. It is generally known as x86-64.

 I don't know if there is a good place to put it, but another good thing to mention might be that Lucid (10.04) supports lower processors and is a long term support release.
