I once had a 64bit processor running 32 bit programs
I guess running it at 32bit you are only getting half the use out of the processor I mean.
if one terminal results in 0 or 1 then thats 2bits of information for choice
If you add another terminal so you have 2 terminals then that 2bit of information times by 2 = 4bits
And now a 3rd terminal, so 4bits of info times 2= 8bits
And now a 4th terminal, so again 8bits times 2= 16 bits
And now a 5th terminal, so again 16bits times 2= 32 bits
And finally a 6th terminal, so 32bits times 2=64bits
Every time we add a new terminal we double the amount of data we can have

1. 1 (2bit)
2. 01(4bit)
3. 001(8bit)
4. 0001(16bit)
5. 00001(32bit)
6. 000001(64bit) so a 32bit OS running on this CPU hear, will not use this terminal
