Hardware Question

For any of you hardware experts out there...

1. Does i686 always mean that the referenced processor/machine/platform
is 64-bit?

2. Does i386 always mean 32-bit?

3. If the 'uname' command reports that the machine/processor is i686 and
that the platform is i386, does this mean that I am restricted to 32-bit
software?

I think I know the answers to these questions but I'm not sure, and I
haven't been able to find an answer for such basic questions. Thanks for
any assistance.
