Just looked, and it's an AMD Sempron 3100. The machine runs flawlessly except for this remote reboot problem. I normally don't bother trying to reboot except when there is a kernel update that fixes something. As this is a production machine too, I try to leave it running as much as possible, and it's a PITA to have to get someone from the ISP's staff to meet me at the co-lo site to let me in. As for the arch, I generally use i386 to indicate anything intel or amd that is not a 64-bit processor, which as Jim mentioned is rather old terminology. I came along when 8088's were the mainstay of computers.
