:What's the point to support those old relics? (I mean the 386 and 486)

:I own one of those antics that even has PCI slots and onboard IDE controller,

:(Had to "sacrifice" a newer machine to try it. ;-)

    Well, we don't really support the 386 any more.  The 486 is easy to
    support because there really isn't that much of a difference in
    instruction generation, and there are a number of cpus that look more
    like 486's then pentiums as well as a still fairly robust embedded
    market based around the 486 core.  So the venerable 486 isn't quite
    dead yet.
