  Hmmm it just occurs to me I made a big assumption. I assumed 
that if the CPU supports 64bit operations, that it would be 
compiled to use 64bit registers when possible. I'm assuming this 
is not the case. As such the tests I was doing will probably be 
of little help _unless_ it was X86_64 code, or a check that 
verifies it's 64bit hardware?

  Does this mean the 64bit types are emulated rather than using 
hardware?
