Only the base arches get distributed on the mirrors due to space
constraints.

They were built by the Release Engineering team using the exact same
specifications as the rest of the media. Currently, these are only
available from the Friends of Gentoo e.V. tracker. We hope to have them
available from the store shortly. Unfortunately, we just don't have the
resources on our community mirrors for hosting them.

No. You need i686. Athlon XP added SSE instructions to the Athlon.
