Masm help
While I'm not sure if this will answer your question, those are different CPU architectures (Intel 80386 aka i386, Intel 80486 aka i486, pentium 5 aka i586). The line .386, .486, etc declares your instruction set. All of these are x86 architectures, and most are backwards compatible.
Hope that helps :)
