If it's running nicely. then leave it as is. The Athlon is a i686, based processor, so compiling it for Athlon or i686 doesn't really make much difference, from what I've noticed. (I run Dual MP's.. )

Even when I update the kernel, it actually downloads the kernel-2.4.18-XX.XX-athlon.rpm. But when checked to see which version I'm running it still say's it's an i686.. So I wouldn't worry about that, if it's working ok..
