You can't even compare these two processors. The 68000 has 32-bit wide registers with a 32-bit ALU. The address bus implemented 24-bits of addressing (16MB) even though the address registers are 32-bit. The 68000 has been a 32 bit processor from the beginning. -Steve Bakke Computer Engineering University of Cincinnati
