Talk:32-bit application

Ahem...

> "A 32-bit application is software that runs in a 32-bit flat address space (a flat memory model)."

a) That is only true for someone coming from the land of Microsoft (specifically). Not so for the rest of the world, even the x86 parts of it. b) There is no such thing as a "flat memory model". That is a compiler pragma. c) 32-bit applications can run in a 16-, 22-, or 64-bit address space just fine.

A 32-bit application is an application that natively uses 32-bit-wide registers. End of story. -- Fullstop (talk) 09:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
