Is a Pentium 4 processor fully supported?
hey, I'm new to the forums and Archlinux in general (been using Ubuntu for a couple months), and I'm quite interested in trying out Arch. However, I have a Pentium 4 2.0ghz processor, and I'm wondering: does Archlinux fully support this? I know Arch is optimized for the i686 architecture, but I have no idea if P4 is included. I have searched around and couldn't find a definite answer, so can somebody help me out?

Okay, thanks for the really fast reply. 
I was just making sure because I don't want to end up downloading arch and finding out it isn't compatible. heh

It's supported and if you have Hyper Threading on it will register as two processors
