A Pentium III processor should handle i686 fine.

[1] These can also run i686 packages. Unless you have a single application that needs more than 3.5GiB of address space, i686 is probably a better choice.
I am trying to find a c++ and c compiler for opensuse. Would anyone know what rpm contains the c++ c software? Think I saw some discussion of a g++ and gcc compilers but think they may be working only for 64 bit machines and not for i686 machines
The gcc will work fine. gcc hello.cc -o hello will create hello binary from C++ code. zypper in gcc will install gcc. Though, you would need more packages, so it is better to go to YaST software management (the same thing as Install Software in Main Menu > System > Configuration), go to top left corner of the window and change filter to the Patterns. Select those development patterns you need, and press Accept.
