Think its 686 (but really, leaving 486 and 586 in isn't going to slow down 
booting or anything!) I always say: Use GENERIC unless you have a good reason 
not to.

No. It's not supported if things break.

The defaults should be fine. Also, like I said consider just using GENERIC and 
load the odd kmod if needed. Generally it's less headache and equal 
performance.
