Nearly all x86-based processors are supported; this includes AMD and
Cyrix processors as well.  Also the new processors like Athlon and the
K6-2 or K6-3, respectively, are supported.  However, Linux will

<para>

The system bus is the part of the motherboard which allows the CPU to
communicate with peripherals such as storage devices.  Your computer
must use the ISA, EISA, PCI, the Microchannel Architecture (MCA, used
in IBM's PS/2 line), or VESA Local Bus (VLB, sometimes called the VL
bus).
