Now the only 64 is in the clflush size thing and I did a long search
with Google on what is clflush and got only that every cpu I looked at
has clflush size as 64.

    Anyone here actually know how to determine a 64 byte cpu?

I thought not :-)

You're wrong:

bash-3.1$ cat cpuinfo.txt

My Intel Celerium chip does not give up it's 32 or 64 bit capability so I did a Google search and did it on the Intel web page. Then I wanted to see if my new AMD chip is 32 or 64 bit.

I am happy to say that most recent cpu's ALL are 64 bit or 32 bit capable. Both of my cpu's are 64 bit capable. So I may reinstall F7 on my new computer using 64 bit software knowing it does have a cpu that will support it.
