Systems using 128bit integers exist since 1970 or so. IPv6 uses 128bit addresses, ZFS is a 128bit file system. Modern GPUs have a 128bit data bus. CPUs with 128bit for multimedia have been designed already in the late 1990's: --- A microprocessor with a 128-bit CPU, ten floating-point MAC's, four floating-point dividers, and an MPEG-2 decoder --- Regards, Gerrit .... 4:07PM up 111 days, 18 hrs, 9 users, load averages: 0.19, 0.21, 0.17 --- Msged/BSD 6.1.2 * Origin: A love pays love for lying (2:240/12) .
