  <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.
