This is highly, highly theoretical, since I don't think there's very many machines anywhere in the world with a i386 ISA and enough memory to boot CentOS.
Not even embedded cores from a almost decade ago use less than an i486 ISA compatible. Don't forget embedded, because there _are_ "Pentium II class" (500MHz) cores that _are_ only i486 ISA compatible.
Not worth the bother. In a few years, everything will be x86_64.
x86/PAE36 will continue for a long, long time -- be it embedded or in virtual machines (in the near future of virtual cores).

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you. Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
