Sorry I have to correct my own nonsense here..;)

The precision is in the mantissa and it's not divided like this - so ignore my 
gibberish.. it's 32 bit float anyway! :o) (Yes MacOS knows double, but Logic 
is using 32 bit floats. This choice could have been made because 32 bit 
communication makes 64 bit float handling twice as slow, but I don't know if 
the internal communication between G4 core and FPU was done in 32 bits as 
well).
