...> 64 bit machines One respondent seemed to be under the impression that a "64 bit machine" implied that the minimum addressible unit was 64 bits. That's another tradeoff entirely. What I mean, and what I think is being talked about, is machines that have address sizes (and integers, etc.) of 64 bits. >32 bit machines are already here: the IBM RT ROMP has a 40 bit virtual address and I've seen articles saying that the 80386 has a 16T address space (Milutinovc in last month's computer). What are the exact specs on the 80386?
