+That's a very good point you make there, why are we talking about 
+i586/i686 at all since the best optimization for a modern PC is to 
+install the 64bit version?!
+
+We should have:
+Mageia 32bit i586, which is ideal for old PCs
+Mageia 64bit, which is ideal for modern PC (which are 64bit capable)
+
+Why do we need 32bit with i686 optimizations at all?
+
+Anyone who wants a modern system optimized for speed should use the 
+64bit version anyway, since that's much faster than any 32bit with 
+i686 optimizations.
+
+Also AFAIK the Atom runs faster with i586 than i686 because it doesn't 
+have out-of-order execution.
+
+So i686 would make Mageia slower on Atom netbooks.
