there's a word for the bit-iness of a system, what is it though?
You mean big-endian and little-endian?
Not quite. Endianness refers to the ordering of the bits in a binary number.
I'm thinking of a phrase that denotes whether 32-bits or 64-bits are used in the representation.
Maybe a word doesn't exist and that's why I can't remember it....?
