You have a CPU that supports 64 bit programming. In linux type "uname -a". I get the response "linux localhost.locaoldomain 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP WED JUNE 28 08:47:03 EDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/LINUX" The x86_64 shows the "software" kernel supports 64bit programming. The hardware/software industry is just beginning to move towards 64 bit programming. The 'world' is still very much in the 16/32 bit phase. Just thought this might be of interest to you.
