BYTE got a good article out on 64-bit processors, in their march issue
1990; interesting article; have no clue if you guys are talking 64-bit 
registers in the CPU/IP; would be messy; either way, CISCs seem to be out
of fashion, chances are atleast the IR won't be 64-bits; the IP may/maynot
be:- depending upon the usage of virtual memory in commercial point of
view; that leaves the data path(re: BYTE) and the FPU- which is already
getting there; but once again, the question is, is the current type in
processors going to be around 3 yrs. from now; i am trying to get in touch
which the japanese companies who developed the fuzzy processors; having a
very uneasy feeling that, it's going to be the future;
