BTW, there is no AT&T syntax, you probably meant Intel syntax. Also. there is no IA32 system. There is IA64 but 32-bit system is called x86. IA64 is an entirely different 64-bit architecture from Intel. The curent 64-bit Intel processors x64 is different from IA64 (Itanium). All new Intel processors are now 64-bit processors but they are backward compatible with 32-bit (x86) systems.
