       Bad idea: 16bit bitslice x86.Your motherboard has 4 sockets. Fill one, and you can only do 16bit, so DOS (but no doom) and windows 3.x (but no enhanced mode).Fill two, and you enter the wild world of 32bit! Finally you can use windows 95 and up.Fill four, and now you can access more than 4gb, allowing you to load one (1) web page!

       @foone coincidentally it was the first of the four to receive a non-32bit doom port

       @foone But all x86_64 is actually 48 bit address space?

       @foone 64 1-bit bit sliced cores, integrated on one IC.Finally you can run native 37-bit software.

       @foone That's good, I use 24-bit mixed-endian!

       @foone I have my glasses off and read that as “dwarven hackers” and that also seems fitting

       @foone whenever i try valgrind or AddressSanitizer on my Mediatek MT8183 it says "you only have 37 bits. get yourself a real computer"
