I had some speculation with the owner of penstarsys.com over whether Bartons were going to be 64 bit... I would be most interested in seeing what Sandra says, and maybe your CPUID information. Maybe you're just reading something wrong... maybe we were right.

I was referring to x86-64 capability, rather than a 32-bit up 32-bit down sort of bus arrangement... does the info on AMD's website fit with what Sandra is reporting?

Isn't the Barton core the just the same as the T-Bred B core with more cache? Therefore it would be 32 bit.

Yes, it is supposed to be 32 bit. However, there was some speculation months ago that AMD would add x86-64 capability to Barton or perhaps a later K7 core to make x86-64 available across their entire product line for desktop processors.

my understanding is that all of the current processors are "64bit" except for the address bus I think it was (trying to remember my A+ certification class). Of course they don't have the 64bit commands in them though
