128 bit consumer computing is a long ways off. x32 processors and architecture can address up to 4GB ram. Machines now just coming standard with 4GB. Current x64 processors and architecture can address up to 256 Terabytes ( yes that's 264,144 GB) of RAM If and I stress if and when a true 128 bit processor along with the matching architecture comes along it will only probably be used in huge super computers doing cipher cr**king, molecular dynamics, climate and space modeling. Even then it would probably still be cheaper to cluster computers running under a 64 bit architecture than switch over to 128 bit to get the same power. Side note: If there was 128 bit processor and motherboard, there is not enough ram currently in use on the entire planet to be able to fill up its memory addressing space. (300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 TB) +/- a few hundred thousand Terabytes, TB Some deep thinking s**t huh
Truly mind boggling. You could be right you know. After all, 32bit has been around now for a veeerry loooong time.
