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!
