Right. In this context, i386 really means the 32-bit x86 architecture, as opposed to 64-bit. I don't know of any architectural differences that would require a Pentium over a 386 or 486 (besides a FPU.) The Pentium runs the same software in the same memory and address space, just faster. Unless something requires Pentium MMX or SSE instructions.
