513916	2007-01-08 07:45:00	Probably coz u don't get 192 bit mobos or CPU's. And you'll have to win Lotto to buy one.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
513917	2007-01-08 08:16:00	yeah but do u get a 86 bit mobo my question is why they x the 32bit and not the 64	rawkus1020 (9720)
513918	2007-01-08 08:21:00	No, not normally. There's most probably bigger CPU's/mobos around but you or I wouldn't be able to afford it. 32 bit (en.wikipedia.org) 64 bit (en.wikipedia.org) Thats what both of them mean.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
