Raising operating system register sizes does not work. If you think it does, then let's extend the minimum register length beyond the limits of virtual memory.

Raising operating system register sizes does not work. If you think it does, then let's extend the minimum register length beyond the limits of virtual memory. We'll all be able to store unlimited data. What would you store in a 64-bit variable anyway? A boolean which only needs one bit of storage? We already see aggregate memory usage on Windows 7 systems (at least in the United States) above 2GB with no programs loaded. [1] For comparison, the classic Atari only requires eight bits (except for certain operations) as the minimum size for memory addresses. Not exactly a bastion of weak and sluggish games. [2] Did you notice what I did?
