If you check out the Intel website you can see the only processor that supports 64 bits is the Pentium Extreme edition. Or you can go with an AMD Athlon 64 based system.
Hello!
This my first time here and posting. I am in the process of ordering a new Desktop. I have configured the Dell Dimension 8400 650 Pentium 4 processor on this. I understand that Microsoft will be introducing a 64 bit windows some time this year. Will this new computer be compatible. If not, is it upgradeable. I would hate to buy a new computer only for it not to be able to take advantage of all this 64 bit stuff that is coming out.
I would appreciate any help I can get on this matter and/or advice. I plan on ordering this by the weekend.
Thanks in advance.
