Subject:   Which CPUTYPE?

I'm a bit confused which CPUTYPE I should be using in the make.conf file.

For my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, dmesg shows the following:

CPU: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz (1993.54 686-class CPU)

and for my web server, dmesg shows the same thing although is has a 

	AMD Sempron 1800BOX3100+

I see in the documentation that CPUTYPE=i686 is for older Pentium types, so
does that mean I should use CPUTYPE=i686 (even though dmesg shgows
'686-class CPU')

And my kernel file then? cpu I686_CPU or I586_CPU.

What should I use for my laptop? For my web server?

Thanks a lot in advance.
