Support for i586 was dropped in favor of i686 mostly because i686 chips support sse2, but of course that's at best a stopgap in the overall 32-bit situation. I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop that runs Mageia 10, though not all the available software. The limiting factor isn't usually the P4 cpu, but the old Radeon RV200 GPU that it has. It goes against the grain, for me at least, to send perfectly good running hardware off to the recycler, just because it is "experienced." TJ
