Vista 32 or 64 ?

[cbcb52]

How do I know if my computer will run a 64bit version ?
Processor is Intel Dual Core 3.4 ( In system/ processor ,
it shows 2 processors )
1 GB RAM / MB Intel 945GNT
Everything Onboard ( including video , with 128MB )
Acording to Microsoft , in this site

64 bit will run faster ; Question is : Supposing it will run
on my computer , does it worth ?? ( No gaming or large graphics use in
my computer )

I'm assuming this is probably a Pentium D which supports EM64T and therefore
can run x64 Vista.

If your motherboard doesn't support more than 4GB, or you don't have any
64-bit specific applications you want to run, it's doubtful you will notice
any performance improvement running x64 Vista. On the contrary, you will
probably notice more drivers missing and more incompatible software at this
time.

it is not worth, because there are problems to get 64-bit software and
drivers for hardware
if you have the dvd of a 64-bit vista, just install it, if you can ...if
yes, your CPU is a 64-bit one

Unless you plan to run 64bit programs that require in excess of 4gb RAM,
stay with 32bit..

This is exactly why I'm not going to run 64-bit even tho I could. I don't
want to fight every program I am used to using and draining my gas tank
trying to find a printer that will work and won't drain my bank account.
