upgrade to 64 bit
Hi, I am currently running 32 bit Vista Home Premium, but I am considering
upgrading to Vista Ultimate and the 64 bit version if I can. How do I find out If my hardware can support a 64 bit OS? Thanks in advance, guitardude |

upgrade to 64 bit
What processor do you have? That will tell you what it is capable of. The
Core 2 Duo, Athlon 64, and some P4's are 64 bit capable. -- Dustin Harper http://www.VistaRIP.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "guitardude" wrote in message ...

In my computer properties it says:
Genuine Intel® CPU T2250 @ 1.73GHz 1.73 GHz The processor logo tag on my case says: Intel Centrino Duo I don't know if this is enough info or not, just let me know. thanks for the help, guitardude "Dustin Harper" wrote in message ...

It is a Core Duo, meaning that it is a 32bit cpu. It cannot run x64. The
Core 2 Duo is the 64bit cpu. "guitardude" wrote in message ...

upgrade to 64 bit
Hi,
found this thread just passing by... I have a core 2 duo T7300 cpu running 32 bit windows vista. Are there any known benefits of moving to 64-bit ? Or on the other hand cons ? just looking for some experience in this area.. regards raghav.. "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: It is a Core Duo, meaning that it is a 32bit cpu. It cannot run x64.

Go to the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup for a more
knowledgeable group of users on 64bit versus 32bit talking points. Most folks here know about the greater memory addressable by x64 but there are many more nuances than just the amount of ram.

upgrade to 64 bit
I have a quad core processor in my desktop and home premium 32 bit on it. I
looked at the architecture for the processor to make sure that it was 64 bit capable and it ws x86 instead of x64. according to microsoft's site, x64 is required to run 64 bit Vista. But intel says that all of the quad cores can run 64 bit OEMs. Which is right? "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: It is a Core Duo, meaning that it is a 32bit cpu. It cannot run x64.

Hello Brandon, If you looked from within your 32 bit install, then it would say x86 as architecture, as you have installed a 32 bit OS. Don't worry though, all of the quad-cores are fully 64 bit capable, as are the Core 2 Duos. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-) Batteries not included.

A 2250 is a Core Duo chip which only supports 32 bit Operating Systems. You
have to have a Core 2 Duo(note the 2 in the name) chip to support a 64 bit OS. "guitardude" wrote in message ...
