Did they upgrade PS/2 to use something other than interrupts? Because my earliest 64-bit CPU was in a computer manufactured in the early 00s and I'm pretty sure that mobo still had actual PS/2 ports, not USB converters or something.
PS/2 did still use interrupts.
And the first x86-64 processors were the AMD Opteron (servers) and the Athlon 64 (consumer-grade), both of which came out in 2003. PS/2 was still around then, so...
Meme checks out.
Here's a specific example of a Socket 754 (Athlon 64) mobo with PS/2 ports.
I stand corrected then, thank you! I forgot about Opteron and Athlon (I was an Intel devotee at the time, my AMD phase happened much earlier with the 486 DX2 and DX4).
Cheers!
