no need to get fancy. Assume that you could only do 4 bit
and you had to calculate x37 - x24. Subtract the first 4 bits:
3 - 2 = 1, then the last 4 bits: 7 - 4 = 3, the result is then
1 * 16 + 3 = 19.
With 64 bits, you could do the two 32-bit halves (as I did the 4
bits above). Then result = (1st 32-bit diff) * 4Gig + (2nd 32-bit
diff).
