Rep:
Well first off Strike (or Red Hat Linux 9) is a dead OS, Red Hat quit supporting it well over two years ago.
To and your question the various versions are for the different cpu's;
i386 is for the Intel (and compatible) 386 CPU's and higher based systems
i686 is for the Intel (and compatible) Pentium 4 CPU's based systems
