It's a i686... you can get more details about your processor from the Intel website:

...and more from the wikipedia:

Sorry, but each user has to decide for him/herself which distribution is better for him/her. If there was a best one for everyone, we'd all be using it. I'm not particularly fond of any of those that you mentioned above, but that's just me.

The best thing to do is to try a distro or two and then decide which one you like best, then experiment further as time allows until you find the one that you like best out of all that you've tried. I've installed and run almost 50 different distros and finally settled on Arch after several years of distro hopping. Any of the distros in the top 10 or 20 at DistroWatch.com would be a good place to start.

Best of luck with your Linux.
