Are Intel C2D's 64 bit? (Core 2 Duos)

Are the core 2 duos a 64 bit processer?

Yes. Intel.com might be a good place to find this info fast.

Yeah but if there are two of them (dual-core) then doesn't that really make the CPU a 128 bit processor?

Kinda like how two cores at 2GHz each means the CPU is basically a 4GHz monstor!?

OMG, until I read the last part, I was seriously going to beat you upside the head with a nooblet pan! Hahaha! Good one...

lol, that reminds me of the Atari Jaguar console (ancient times, yes yes) that claimed to be the first 64-bit gaming console but really was just a 32-bit proc with limited 64-bit ALUs in graphics...

yeah back when I was still a newbie in the single core era I had the crazy idea that perhaps if I modded two Athlon XP 3200s to run on a two-socket server mobo (actually possible due to redundant similarities between Athlon XP and Athlon MP) I'd get 2.2GHz X 2 (4.4GHz) of performance...good thing I never followed through

The NEC Turbografx16 was the same way. It had 2 8-bit processors, not a single 16-bit processor like its rival the Sega Genesis.
(Both of which are for sale in my FS thread.)

Ahh, but your wrong! The Genesis had a 16/32 CPU. Some of he 68000's internal registers were 32 bit, but it communicated on a 16 bit bus!

Now explain why a 1 bit DAC is better than anything else.

Because 1 bit DACs are small, very fast, not prone to mismatches and are perfect for sigma-delta modulators?
