What is the difference between i386 and i686 distros?

Does Red Hat come in a i686 distro?

I have installed RH 9 on a P4 machine using the only ISO's I could find for RH which were i386.

Does this mean that my installation has been automatically optimised for my i686 machine?

I could only find an i386 distro of RH 9. Is there an i686 RH 9 distro?

Cheers
