Well It just occured to me, that that's because the CPU's natural state is 16bit. So first the CPU should boot up (or start or whatever) in 32bit mode, then the bios can be 32bit and we shall all be happy. Ofcourse....unless the bios sets the CPU in 32bit mode, before doing anything else....hmmmmm... Yeep (Please correct me if I'm wrong about the CPU's natural state, I got this info from a rather weird text file)
