Yeah, what he said. The data path may be 64 bit, but the entire computer is
32 bit. Just like the old Mac II, the computer was 32 bit, but some of the
ROM, etc, was only 24 bit. (So it wasn't a "true" 32 bit comp) Though in
the 7500 the majority is 32bit. (And the G5 is the first 64 bit Personal
Computer, though PC has 64 bit Servers and Workstations.
Cheers,
Eric
