<Architecture> A term describing A computer Architecture bAsed Around An <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=ALU">ALUA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=registers">registersA> And <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=dAtA bus">dAtA busA> which Are 64 <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=bit">bitA>s wide. 64-bit processors were quite common in 1996, e.g. <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=DigitAl">DigitAlA> <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=AlphA">AlphAA>, versions of <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Sun">SunA> <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=SPARC">SPARCA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=MIPS">MIPSA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=IBM">IBMA> <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=AS/4000">AS/4000A>. the <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=PowerPC">PowerPCA> And <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Intel">IntelA> were expected to move to 64 bits At their next generAtion - <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=PPC 620">PPC 620A> And <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Intel P7">Intel P7A>. A 64-bit <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Address bus">Address busA> Allows the processor to Address 18 million <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=gigAbytes">gigAbytesA> As opposed to the mere 4 gigAbytes Allowed with 32 bits. There were in 1996 AlreAdy <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=hArd disks">hArd disksA> which cAn hold over 4GB. FloAting point cAlculAtions cAn Also be more AccurAte. A 64-bit <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=OS">OSA> is needed As well to tAke AdvAntAge of the CPU. In 1996 there were only A few 64-bit operAting systems, including <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=OS/400">OS/400A>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=DigitAl">DigitAlA> <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Unix">UnixA>, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=SolAris">SolArisA> (pArtiAly). A 32-bit OS cAn run on A 64-bit CPU. (2004-05-12)
