[plug] Intel Processor naming conventions

Have been looking at Gentoo and thought I might save the 2 days of compiling 
and download the packages CD for my machine.
The problem is the processor is a Celeron 800 MHz and I am not sure if this 
counts as a i686 processor or a Pentium 3 or 4, or maybe I should just use 
the x86 packages.
Can someone please confirm what this processor is called by Gentoo.

Thanks in advance.

Love
Mike.
