Default 32 or 64 bit?


Another question I'm using a P4 3.2Ghz Prescott chip in an Abit IC7-Max 3
motherboard. Now I think that CPU may be 64 bit, but I'm not sure if the
Motherboard is.

So, trying tio work out whether I should be loading the 32 or 64 bit
version of Vista?

So far I've been loading the 32 bit version, but thought it was worth
checking.

So which ISO guys?

Greetings Daron,

I doubt the Intel Prescott chip is 64-bit enabled.

Regards,
Jose Francisco

Cheers guys that is what I thought, but it was worth checking out just in
