IBM used bit-hype when the 286 came out with a bigger address bus, and this has been the industry battle flag since. It was still an 8 bit CPU. Likewise, you cannot label 2 (or more) discreet, asynchronous, 32 bit execution units as a 64 bit core, duh. To date, the only place these '64 bit emulators' excel is in processing huge amounts of huge numbers, where iterative instructions are in the cache and data is in memory. Using 64 bit Linux for making database queries is ludicrous unless the application is strictly mathematical. Marty B - -- Putting Microsoft in a computer is like putting screen doors in a submarine.
