CPU Question

1. Say i have an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ the external data bus size is 32-bit the address bus is 32-bit and the registers are 32-bit, Since it is a "32-bit" CPU correct?

2. And if i have an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ the external data bus size is 64-bit the address bus is 64-bit and the registers are 64-bit, Since it is a "64-bit" CPU correct?


3. And one last thing. If each register is 32-bit or 64-bit in a CPU and there are 4 registers would that not make the CPU a 128-bit processor or a 256-bit processor?

Be patient, zach. We tend to discourage bumping.
