Solve : Itanium CPU HELP?

1.	Solve : Itanium CPU HELP?
Answer» I just found out that all CPUs ahve an External BUS Width of 64 Bits just so they can interface with all of the 64 Bit Motherboards out there. But all CPU have Internal Regisisters that are only 32 Bits Wide so the can only PROCESS 32 Bit at a time. Then I just found out about a real 64 Bit processor that can process 64 Bits at a time because it's Internal Regisiters are 64 Bits Wide. This CPU is called the INTANIUM. My Q/A is is this CPU on the markit an anyone buy it? And if most Windows XP pro is 32 why get a 64 cpuQuote My Q/A is is this CPU on the markit an anyone buy it? i did a little research, and apparently it is only sold to OEM manufacturers and not the GENERAL public. also, you will need a COMPATIBLE motherboard and the price of an itanium motherboard can cost ~$1000. Quote And if most Windows XP pro is 32 why get a 64 cpu are you talking with respect to the itanium? the itanium is strictly 64 bit. it will not work with a 32 bit OS. it will also not work with our standard ATX motherboard. have you seen the itanium? One step further too quantum computing, the day when a computer can "Think"If all Data moving ACROSS the Motherboards out there are 64 Bits Wide I understand why they make CPUs External registers 64 Bits wide so it can take in data from the Motherboards. But the way the Internal registers process is only 32 Bits at a time I get this. So Is this why Win xp is only 32 bits why.AnyoneQuote from: nymph4 on June 07, 2008, 12:44:52 PM So Is this why Win xp is only 32 bits why.

I just found out that all CPUs ahve an External BUS Width of 64 Bits just so they can interface with all of the 64 Bit Motherboards out there.

But all CPU have Internal Regisisters that are only 32 Bits Wide so the can only PROCESS 32 Bit at a time.

Then I just found out about a real 64 Bit processor that can process 64 Bits at a time because it's Internal Regisiters are 64 Bits Wide. This CPU is called the INTANIUM.

are you talking with respect to the itanium? the itanium is strictly 64 bit. it will not work with a 32 bit OS. it will also not work with our standard ATX motherboard. have you seen the itanium?
