You'd think so. Actually, most 32-bit processors have been able to work on 80 bits at a time, the [typical] size of a real in C.
EDIT: You should note that the floating point registers in the new 64-bit processors are actually 128 bit wide.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
