Do you disagree with the following link or am I misinterpreting it?

Curious
The link you provided appears to be correct since Core Duo CPUs do not have
EM64T support whereas the Core 2 Duo and Pentium Dual Core D series CPUs
do.
Following is another link that states this:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/05/19/intel_core_duo_t2600_on_the_desktop/
Also I could find no statement at the Intel Website that states that Core
Duo chips have EM64T support.

Core and Core Duo chips are strictly 32bit. I have a Core Duo laptop.

I just switched over to it without any problems at all, I just like the fact
that now I can have 8 gig on memory and use it all. It really spead up some
of my programs that I ran. Couldnt be happier.

the question is "Is it possible to upgrade the processor without voiding the
warranty of the laptop (in most situations)?"
I am a pretty technical person, just not with laptops. Thanks for your help,
and by the way, that was a pretty good assumption

you're going to be doing.
Me, I'm an IT network/systems engineer and I wouldn't do it.

There is a much easier way to determine if you can use 64-bit if you already
have Vista 32-bit installed.
-Right click on My Computer
-Choose Properties
-Click on Windows System Performance Rating (you may not already be rated,
so follow the prompts to do the rating).
-Once the rating is complete, click on View and Print Details
-In the printable menu, it will state 64-bit Compatible:
Viola, you have your answer!

Hi,
I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to computers etc. This thread has been
of help to me. My only question is how can you tell if your computer is
running the 32 bit or 64 bit. I've tried to explore my laptop but I'm a bit
scared to go to far in incase I mess something up.
Cheers.

I am also running 32 bit Vista and want to upgrade. I already tried to, but
when I tried putting the upgrade in, it says Offer Not Found. And yes, my
computer is 64 bit capable. My copy of Vista came with the laptop.

The reason you saw "Offer not found" is that you are using an OEM product
key. Only retail copies of Vista entitle the user to order the alternate
media. If you go back to the website and read the text again you will see
the references to "retail."
You can migrate to x64 Vista by purchasing a retail upgrade edition of
Vista. Ultimate comes with both dvds. The other editions come with only
the x86 dvd but the upgrade edition product key will entitle you to order
the x64 dvd from the Alternate Media website.
You will have to boot with the x64 dvd and perform a custom install, meaning
you will have to reinstall your files, settings, and apps after the
migration.

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?

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.

I want to upgrade to 64 bit of Windows Vista Ultimate. Can I download it or
order it for free. My Computer is ASUS OEM.

If a free upgrade is available (and it almost certainly is not available) it
would have to come from ASUS. And even if one is available you cannot
upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit, you would have to wipe the system clean and
start all over again to install the 64-bit version.

Why would you have any desire to run 64 bit version, did you find some hidden
source of programs or what. The vast majority of programers will continue to
solely use 32 bit version. Money makes programers happy.
Now if you really want 64 bit then why don't you talk to Apple. Stop
wasting time with chasing 64 bit.
