I just purchased a motherboard (ECS Elite Group, G33T-M2) and processor
(Intel Core2 Duo E6850, LGA 775, 3 GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333 MHz FSB) and
memory (OCZ 2GB x 4 = 8GB) I would like to know if they will be compatible
together with windows xp 64. Thank you.

If I were you, I'd put-off buying XP-64 for now. Not enough drivers or
applications. I am getting ready to ditch it myself. Some websites won't
even talk to Internet Explorer 64 bit, and Outlook Express 64 bit will noe
spell check your emails. Yuck!
Save your money.
 
Re: Intel Core2 Duo E68650, is it compatible with 64?

Certainly. Why not? XP Pro x64 absolutely flies on such a platform. The
number of cores (I use four) makes no difference. Some of the folks who
post here are using it on dual quad core workstation boards with 8 or more
GB with no problems.

I setup an XP-64 machine quite some time ago and it works great.

It depends, really on how it's to be used.

The machine dual boots XP_32 and XP_64 and is used exclusively for Photoshop
CS2.

Though CS2 runs quite well on the 32bit side...it does run a bit better on
the 64bit side.

The only problem I had was finding a wireless net card ...
so I ended up just using CAT-5 and no wireless.

Of course until there are true 64bit apps out there...
it probably is fine to go with the 32bit OS

I think he just wants to know if the rig will do it.

Vista 64 here running real sweet,, same CPU :)
got a nice 3dmark06 score of 16298 so she screams a little

best advice research all devices make sure they have 64 bit drivers for the
OS before buying saved me a lot of headaches that's for sure

Re: Intel Core2 Duo E68650, is it compatible with 64?

Yes, certainly.

You'll want to make sure you have or can get drivers for any critical
peripherals. ECS should provide drivers for the motherboard.

Should be a nice machine, and XP x64 will fly on it.

Re: Intel Core2 Duo E68650, is it compatible with 64?

I agree with Charlie and Colin, make sure you have the drivers and XP64 is
an awesome system.

Re: Intel Core2 Duo E68650, is it compatible with 64?

I took a stab at it and jumped in with two feet and YES it works! Thanks Colin.

Patrick,

Thanks for the heads up...God was watching me and definitely helped me thru
this one as all the drivers were located on line and it is definitely faster
than the 32 bit. of course the 8GB helps too. :>

Re: Intel Core2 Duo E68650, is it compatible with 64?

It is awesome thank you Colin I am happily pleased to have done it. If anyone
is going to use these post to attempt to install adhere to the advice and
take some time to download and burn all the needed drivers. I just got lucky.
Thank you Colin

ECS did have the motherboard update and it works great, thank you for the
heads up. I'm on the system right now and its flying for sure...

Re: Intel Core2 Duo E68650, is it compatible with 64?

Thank you John drivers are the key to this system working or just being lost
in the sauce. It's not for the novelist but it is doable.

Things (Links) that helped:
HD Audio: http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=901105

I used this one the most:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/default.mspx

It has many links talking about it. It can be a little one sided so read
with caution.

Once again thank you all for your time, effort and input. If you are a
speed geek like me then I would recommend taking the plunge.

Oops, I rely on spell check way too much. My just won the Spelling B for his
