Using 32 bit registers in 64 bit mode should be perfectly valid.

It's just like using 16 bit registers or 8 bit registers in 32 bit mode, 
that's perfectly valid too.

So simply put: you are wrong about that, I am 99.99% sure about that ;)

Again, you wrong, me thinks.

It does work for asm too.

Get your facts straight ;) :)
