and which may have helped to prevent a 'hot' nuclear war.
Preventing escalation in hostility by acting in a hostile manner. Right. See? Spies are GOOD. When we spy on a country it means we're trying to be friends. Also black is white, 2+2 = 5, and Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
all the antimalware programs you'd want on a PC
If you're trying to draw on the notion that only PC's get malware I have news for you...
After all, they're still in business, right?
Yeah, right up until they day they're not. Unfortunately in this business the usual exit is not retirement, it's prison.
Feel free to check out the intel specifications on the CPU involved. Under memory specifications it says: Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 32 GB.
Now I know that theoretically a 64 bit CPU should be able to address 2^64 bytes, which is a very large number indeed. In practicality however I'm guessing they're saving on pins and/or using them for something else.
A rare one where he plays a good guy.
Here's another one: Terry Pratchett's Death character is not evil. Nor good. It's just Him. But because of a fondness for kittens Death probably leans closer to good than evil...
I think you're confusing the CPU's internal memory cache with system memory. While GP may have phrased his post poorly when he said "how do you get 64GB ram working on a 32GB CPU" it's pretty straightforward to realize that what he really meant was "how do you get 64GB of system RAM working with a CPU that was only designed to address at most 32GB of system RAM".
The memory "in" the CPU which you later refer to as cache is built into the CPU by the manufacturer. It is a place where the queue of instructions waiting to be processed are stored. You can't alter this amount of memory nor can you manipulate its contents (other than by using low level tricks to invalidate or reload the cache, etc). It has nothing to do with system RAM which is where your program's code and data exist, on top the BIOS, drivers and your operating system.
