Right, which is why I said "apps" above, though it was not obvious the
way I phrased it.  I was trying to point out that the G5/Power4
processors have the same multi-bit-width execution capability.  Thank
you for the clarification.

To be more clear about this...I have no idea how many MacOS X apps have
64-bit versions available.  Not too many, I would guess.  That will
change.
