68.43.62.64

"The Athlon 64's "64" refers to the length of an integer it can process; essentially it can handle in one cycle what is considered a "double" (64 bit precision) in one pass."

Yes, but the main point is to enable 64-bit memory addressing, not to accelerate rare instances of 64-bit integer math.

"Now, this doesn't guarantee that the DAW software was using doubles or 64-bit INTs when processing the audio"

It certainly doesn't. In fact, doesn't most audio software work in floating point?
