I was always under the natural assumption that the Pentium 4 was 32-bit only.
But I just got a new graphics card and went to download the 32-bit driver for Windows 8. During installation, I got an error prompt saying that the OS was not 32-bit and that installation couldn't continue. So I go to the Windows properties page and lo and behold, the 64-bit version of Windows 8 was installed. How can this 64-bit OS be running???
