I'll have to read it a dozen times as it's as clear as mud:

What is Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology? Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology, or Intel®64, is an enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture. The enhancement allows the processor to run newly written 64-bit code and access larger amounts of memory. These extensions do not run code written for the Intel® Itanium® processor.

Sounds like 32 bit...

Is Intel®64 the same technology used in the Itanium® 2 processor? No. Intel®64 is an extension to Intel's processors based on the IA-32 architecture.

Still sounds like 32 bit...

I have two platforms: one based on an IA-32 architecture processor family with Intel®64, and one based on an IA-32 architecture family without Intel®64.

Even just the question says it's 32 bit...

A lot of weasle words to me. If it's a 64 bit CPU, why not simple state it's a 64 bit CPU???

I think that omission is a very big statement in and of itself.
