Vista X86 and X64. I thought there was 32 bit and 64 bit - what am I missing

Re: X86 or X64
x86 = 32 bit. x64 = 64 bit. x86 refers to the old 80x86 processors whichset the name for the family by convention. x64 refers to AMD64 which was
the first 64-bit processor that was backwards compatible with the x86
instructions. The first processor to appear in a family by convention names
the whole family. Intel 64-bit chips with x86 compatibility are still
referred to as x64.
