I doubt it was an actual 80386. For some years the minimum CPU requirement
has been i686, which was Pentium Pro or greater. More recently the
additional requirement of a CPU with PAE capabilities. I rather doubt
that a processor that ran RH9 (a decade or more ago) would have PAE,
though I have been wrong before (once or twice! :) :) )
