NT is 32 bit but the R4600 is 64 bit. Check out www.mips.com for more info on running NT on MIPS cpus. "Together with the R4000 family, the R4600 provides a compatible, timely, and necessary evolution path from 32-bit to true, 64-bit computing. The original design objectives of the R4000 clearly mandated this evolution path; the result is a true 64-bit processor fully compatible with 32-bit operating systems and applications. "
