<Well, 32-bit is more than Windows 95, which is only partially 32-bit, to
<ensure Windows 3.1 compatibility. NT's full-blown 32-bit, so is Linux ,
<Solaris, HP-UX, SGI Irix...
< Anyway, beats 16-bitters... ;-)

<BTW, to make this on topic, when did Macs make the transition to 32-bit,
<were all 32 bit from day one?
< Ciao,
MAC was 32bit from DAY 1. The 68000 was internally 32bit and in ithe
various incantations 8 bit or 16 bit bus...later ones were longer bus.
Early parts only brought out the lower 24bits of address as /back then/
<pat pending> nobody thought 16mb wasn't enough.
