The important part of the proceessor is the data bus-- the 32032 does have
a full 32 bit data bus. By the time you really NEED 32 bits of address
(that is a huge thing, 32 bits...) it'll be there. We have a piece of
silicon that is on its way out of the drawing boards that will have that.
I've been told to expect first silicon by the end of the year.
