“The first computer game designed to take full advantage of the 64-bit features of Advanced Micro Devices’ Athlon chip came out Tuesday, although the operating system to run it won’t appear for about another year.
Atari has released a 64-bit version of “Shadow Ops: Red Mercury,” according to AMD and Atari. Chips that allow 64-bit addressing can handle far more memory than the 32-bit chips found in desktops today, a situation that should lead to graphics that are more dense and realistic.
