Looks good so far - I guess this is all from the AARM? However I think "the first architecture to be 64-bit from conception" may be overstating the case - there were, of course, non-VLSI 64-bit processors before Alpha and the KSR1's multi-chip microprocessor predates Alpha by a year or so. Other things I can think of off the top of my head that should be mentioned are PALcode and other changes to the architecture in EV5, EV6 etc. Letdorf (talk) 11:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC).


 * Yes, the primary sources are AARM and the article by Richard L. Sites in the Digital Technical Journal (the Winter 1992 issue I think). As for the 64-bit statement, I was going to tweak it for accuracy, but I probably forgot about it. Thanks for catching that, it'll be fixed! I'll probably get to the ISA extensions later, as there are quite a few of them. It will be good for the article, as the table specifies which processor had what extension but doesn't or doesn't go into depth about what the implications were.
