Not sure what Krishna meant, but if you do go for i386 have a look in the package management system for any packages containing 686 in the name. The description should have more details, but these are usually the same packages optimized for the respective processors and all Pentium Pro or later processors will benefit from it. You might also want to run the -amd64 kernel, which will give you a mixed system (64bit kernel, 32bit userland).
