The Intel Core2 Duo chip in my laptop has 128-bit SIMD registers (for SSE stuff), and top-end video cards have up to 2x512-bit data bus and also wide SIMD cores. But *none* of these qualify as "128 bit CPUs" or "128 bit computers". Call me again when you have a motherboard&CPU that can handle 2^128 bytes of memory - I don't even demand capacity for that much physical memory, virtual capacity will do fine. Most current 64-bit computers have a much smaller number of address lines in the chipset so they can't be configured with 2^64 bytes of physical RAM; but the OS can manage all this virtual space if you have a big enough pagefile. <br><br>BTW, 128 bits are something as big, that you won't be able to buy any system, even supercomputer, with this much DISK space, let alone memory. And this limit will NOT be surpassed in the next decades or even millenia.
