As you can see in specint the different companies which earn billions with processors will of course let their processor look like the best. They optimally prepare the software for their processor like they want to, of course under the rules there are. That means in short that it is more than naive to suppose they are not using 64 bits when it can speed them up. There is billions at stake here. Please do not tell me the companies are idiots in this sense. Best regards, Vincent
