Dell E510 2.8gig Dual Core Processor and Vista 64 bit?
I have a Dell e510 2.8g Dual core processor and recently downloaded the 64
bit version of Vista RC2 and installed it. It installed with no problems, but as I read more and more, I'm wondering..."was I supposed to install the 32 bit one?" 1) Wouldn't it tell me during install if I was doing the incorrect one? 2) Is my computer 64 bit compatible, I can't find info on the internet regarding the specific specs on the intel chip 3) It's running fine, would it be running better on a 32 bit version 4) If I want to go to 32bit, do I have to reinstall over the 64 bit, or is there a downgrade option from 64? Your help is appreciated. Thanks |

Neither. It would be a Pentium Dual Core (D) model 820.
