Then why does Dell list Vista x64 drivers for the D820? I never heard of an
Intel Core 2 Duo, Centrino or otherwise, that was not 64-bit. Where did you get the info that this machine was not 64-bit capable? "jerryw4386" wrote in message ...

Hi,
You will get an error message if you try to install Vista x64 from a 32 bit desktop. To install any 64 bit version requires you to boot from the DVD. Make sure that your BIOS is set to boot first from DVD. Do make sure to back up all of your files and documents first, as 64 bit must be clean installed. It cannot upgrade your current 32 bit operating system. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-) Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-) MVP Windows Shell/User "Kjeld_h" wrote in message ...

Where did you get the info that this machine was not 64-bit capable? Go to http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/rese...sors/index.htm and you'll see that Intel Extended Memory 64 (Intel EM64T) is NOT a feature of the T2500. Dell includes 64-bit drivers because a 64-bit capable CPU is optional in the D820. Unfortunately, you didn't get one of the higher-end processors. Tom Lake |

But that does not mean that it is not a 64bit processor or that it will not
run a 64 bit OS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core "Tom Lake" wrote in message ... "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ... Then why does Dell list Vista x64 drivers for the D820?

http://www.intel.com/products/proces...rt/coreduo.htm variants of the T2500 have VT, which is only availalbe on 64 bit cpus. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-) Batteries not included.

Nonsense. The manufacturer is not going to list drivers for x64 just on the
chance a customer might upgrade a cpu. They are listing drivers for the machine in factory condition. Show me a Core 2 Solo, Duo, or Quad that is not a 64-bit cpu. Only the Core Solo and Duo are not 64-bit. "Tom Lake" wrote in message ... "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ... Then why does Dell list Vista x64 drivers for the D820?

"Curious" wrote in message ... But that does not mean that it is not a 64bit processor or that it will not run a 64 bit OS. That's exactly what it means. EM64T is the way Intel chips run 64-bit programs. No EM64T, no 64-bit. Tom Lake |
