are you hinting at a 64 bit OS?

u had msg #6464 ...

anyways,
98 is 16 bit and 32 bit (mixed)... much is still 16 bit (even though msft doesn't want you to know that).....

64 bit is still on the horizon for windows. but like 20 years ago i used to work on a system with a 60 bit word a CDC NOS....

it used 6 bits per byte...
