Recentemente, notei que o lshw me diz uma coisa estranha. Aqui está a primeira parte da minha saída lshw:

Então, aqui vejo que meu processador é efetivamente um de 64 bits. No entanto, estou me perguntando como minha placa-mãe pode ter uma "largura de 32 bits". Naveguei na Web para encontrar uma resposta, sem sucesso. Eu imagino que é apenas um fato técnico que eu não conheço.
Obrigado.
