RE: 64Bit. How?

Hi. I have a dual core P$, 3Gig and I was running xp and I purchased vista
ultimate upgrade but it would only let me install the 32Bit disc. It came
with the 64Bit disc but it wouldn't install. Did your's work straight away or
am I missing something? I would love to finally be able to take advantage of
my dual core because windows 64 was a sham and never worked (and it came with
the pc).

Re: 64Bit. How?

What processor is in the computer? If it is a Core Duo then it will not run
a 64-bit OS. Other dual core cpu's will.
