OK here is the research if anyone is interested...

I found the app guname which gives a wealth of CPU information.  On the
first window it lists "Processor Type:" and then in the detailed
information/cpu it lists even more info.  With that info I've started a
list.  Note that there are missing AMD cpu's here, but I didn't have access
to them.  Also, just guessed on the Athlon.

kernel   cpu's supported
-------  ----------------------------------
athlon - athlon
i386   - 386, 486, AM5x86
i586   - pentium, K6
i686   - pentiumII, pentiumIII, pentium4

Based on this I upgraded all RH73 systems with the corresponding kernel rpm
(and supporting rpms too), have not done any benchmarking but everything is
running great.
