Is it 64 bit on the Intel Core2 T7600 processor?

You can use either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows with that processor. But unless
you have some really compelling reason to use 64-bit, and you don't mind
having even fewer drivers available to you, and don't mind not having even
more technical problems, you're better off sticking to 32-bit.
 
I have Vista Ultimate installed on a Dell Core2 T7600 notebook but System
Information is stating that the System Type is 32 bit.

Shouldn't Vista see this processor/system as a 64 bit system? What am I
missing??

I'm pretty sure I installed from my MSDN download, could that be an issue? I
also have Open License media available.

Thoughts anyone?

First check that you downloaded and installed Windows Vista (x64) - DVD
(Language), you brain-dead ****wad. Of course, you're too ****ing stupid to
even bother saying what you think you installed.

You have a 64Bit CPU, but have the 32Bit version of Vista installed. Nothing
wrong with that at all. But, if you want to go with the 64Bit OS, you would
need to do a clean install.
 
Thanks for the follow up guys ... its good to know that I have the right
hardware ...

I thought Vista was delivered as both 32 & 64 bit on the same media ... ?

Am I missing an option during the install? or do I just have the wrong
media??

Thanks - Phil
 
No, sep DVD.

But.... you may have miss read something, what changed with vista is all the
edition are on a single DVD .

So you get

Home Basic
Home Prem
Bus etc etc

On one DVD.

So you can buy Home Basic, get a new key and flick it into Home Prem.

The driver problem was the reason I installed the x32 version but my
hardware is 64bit compatible (AFAIK) so would there be any advantage
in getting that version? Is it any faster?
