64 Bit

* 1

&lt architecture&gt A term describing a computer architecture based around an ALU, registers, and data bus which are 64 bits wide

64-bit processors are quite common in 1996, e

g

Digital Alpha, versions of Sun SPARC, MIPS, IBM AS/4000

the PowerPC and Intel are expected to move to 64 bits at their next generation - PPC 620 and Intel P7

A 64-bit address bus allows the processor to address 18 million gigabytes as opposed to the mere 4 gigabytes allowed with 32 bits

There are in 1996 already hard disks which can hold over 4GB

Floating point calculations can also be more accurate

A 64-bit OS is needed as well to take advantage of the CPU

In 1986 there are only a few 64-bit operating systems, including OS/400, Digital Unix, Solaris (partialy)

A 32-bit OS can run on a 64-bit CPU
