32 or 64bit

Hello Admins,

This is hopefully a quick question and after searching on the archives I
wasn't able to find anyone else who asked this question, and forgive me
if it sounds obsurd, but:

I have thought that Alpha's have been 64bit all along. I know that you
can compile code in 32bit mode, but is there any hardware limitation
that causes the OS to run in a 32 bit mode?

Thank you!

Ernie
