I have Windows, but only the i686 works for me
I'm guessing that's because your processor doesn't support the SSE2 instruction set.

Could someone please explain the difference between the two?  My computer runs both of them fine it seems.

Daniel already explained, it is just because your processor supports SSE2 instruction set.

Their is absolutly no additionnal features between both. I suppose you should run the SSE2 binary because it is more optimized for your hardware ?

Yea, maybe I should put that in the README.txt?  Maybe I should *add* a README.txt? :)
