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

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-k7

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-k7 root=/dev/sda2 ro clocksource=tsc
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-4-k7
