it's architecture dependent.. ix86 is 32 bit, Alpha is 64bit , Sony PS/2
is 128 bit !! (yeah! that's what gives it the amazing capabilities!)

Linux on intel is 32bit while linux on Alpha is 64bit

Windoze: The nap you take whileloading 32 bit extensions for a 16 bit
patch to an 8 bit OS originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor written

BTW BeOS's site says it's filesystem and stuff are 64bit.. don't know
how they do the conversion!
