64-bit expr support at the Tcl level (even on 32-bit OSes)
I'm stuck between deciding wheater to upgrade now or wait a little longer for 64 bit (athlon 64) to drop in price. I heard someone say that Athlon XP will be phased out soon (?) I know its the last of the 32 bit line although I cannot understand why Intel released another 32 bit line (Centrino and Pentium EE).

Buy 32 bit computer or wait for 64 bit
Now, it gets really messy when you take into account that the R4300 instruction set is only 32-bits in length and that the width of these registers depends on the mode of operation. In 32-bit mode, they are treated as 32-bits wide and in 64-bit mode, they are treated as 64-bits wide. A 32bit instruction word is

You'll likely need to make it a dual-boot rig (the 32 and 64 bit installations on different disks) or get two of them though. Thanks for your clarification. Can I, using the 64 bit kernel, develop and run 32 bit binaries utilizing 32 bit pointers on the 64 bit kernel? Yes. In fact, you can even run most of the

Hi all, Does anyone know if there's an MSScript.ocx ready for 64 bits? My (WinForm) application fails to load on 64 bit due to the fact the ocx is compied to 32 bits. The thing is, my application uses aditional native dlls that are placed in the system32 directory, and once I compile my app to x86, I can work with

What does "16/32/64-bit uP" *really* mean?
If you look at the Alpha, this scheme fits perfectly: it's a 32-bit machine. This is true in the same sense that a 68020 using 16-bit `int's is a 16-bit machine. That is, the internal busses in the CPU are all twice as wide, so while the Alpha is perfectly capable of doing both 32 and 64 bit operations,

Explain 32 bit OS
All of the processors currently considered to be "64 bit" (Alpha, MIPS R4x00 R8000 and R10000, Hypersparc, I assume you mean "UltraSPARC" here; hyperSPARC is a 32-bit processor, implementing SPARC V8 rather than SPARC V9, although it uses Mbus and has a 64-bit bus. The Pentium, by comparison, supports 32-bit

"Trivial Question" - 32bit vs. 64bit vs. 32/64bit
It tends to move things around in memory and between memory and the CPU four byes (32 bits) at a time. A 64 bit machine uses 64-bit words. The 64-bit version of WindowsXP is written to take advantage of the capablilities of 64-bit hardware. That means that it uses instructions that 32-bit machines do not have

16,32,64 bit whats it all mean to me?
System 7 is 32-bit code. So is 6.0, and even 1.0. Early Systems were limited to 24-bit addressing because they did some clever hacks they really shouldn't have been doing. + PPC 601's and 604's are not truly 64 bit processors, but have a 64 bit path to memory and a 64 bit external bus.

A 64 bit architecture can 1) handle flat 64 bit virtual addresses and 2) manipulate 64 bit integers and bit fields as easily as 32 bit quantities. Not everyone needs 1) but 2) can be quite useful all the way down to a $150 Nintendo 64. HPC indeed! OK, I'll bite. Don't MMX, 3DNow! and KNI SIMD manipulate 64- and

Arithmetic for 32-bit and 64-bit machines
Does this means that the compiler is compiled for 32 bit machine. If so this means that the application will use 32/64 bit registers. Consider what has to be done when a 32 bit address is stored in a 64 bit pointer variable, and then 64 bit arithmetic is applied to such a value - what should happen when such a
