So, what is a "valid" 64bit CPU? I have a DEC Alpha in the basement that is most certainly 64 bit, but can't install the i386 or x86_64 version on it. How about Sparc or HP-UX boxes? Are they valid 64 bit CPUs?
Grrr - we were discussing x86 CPUs. Alphas, SPARCs, Itaniums and HP PA-RISC are NOT x86.
Can we try to keep our discussions in context?
