Hello,
K-7 has processor optimizations and enables 3D NOW instruction set handling.
i386 is okay just not as fully optimized for the K7 features and 
especially graphics, .ps rendering.
Please note:
If you install 2.6.18 series kernels for the K7 you will need to add the 
following boot option:
clocksource=tsc
 ----------->   grub.menu.lst
