Well, I am a bit confused after your suggestion. I thought
linux-image-2.6.15.x-686 were meant to be specified for PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV 
Processors.

No, I don't want 64-bit support. It won't pay off for me. But I want
dual processors support. 

Question) Is the k7 linux-image from Ubuntu just a normal kernel-image
or does Ubuntu patch it's kernels before releasing?
