| 698834 | 2008-08-31 11:10:00 | I meant u cant install x64 on a 32 bit operating system, (ie: 2000/XP Home/Pro). It wont let you I don't know what you meant to say earlier but you can't install an x64 bit O/S without a motherboard and cpu that will support same. If you have a motherboard and CPU that support a 64bit O/S then you can run a 32bit O/S. You can also create partitions and dual boot etc. So Jack could run WinXP32, WinXP64, Vista64 and Linux if he wants to. |

| 698836 | 2008-08-31 11:21:00 | I have given up on vista 64 bit. It absolutely refuses to install on my computer. I think there must be something in my box that is not 64 bit compatable. x9650 quad core cpu. asus Striker ll Extreme M/B 1600 fsb nvidia 9800 GX2 vid card.with 1 gig ram 4 gigs ddr 3, 1600 ram 1200 w psu. Raptor ll 320 gig hdd at 10,000 rpm I notice nothing on the web ste to say "not 64 bit compat." I just assumed that being the latest ,they would run either I firstly tried to install without removing anything off the drive planning on running a reformat off the vista disk. It just would not even get far enough to off the format option. So I formatted the drive with the xp disk. With a clean disk vista 64 jumped straight to the "installing files". But after a couple of minutes it would just lock up. It said it was installing but there was no computer activity. On one occasion I left it overnight . In the morning it was still at the same spot. When I tried to stop it, up pops a message saying it was still installing and if I stop now....etc. No message of any problem. Anyway after three days I gave up and installed XP pro. I have just got the computer back to where it was before I started with vista. The computer just flies with XP. O/clocked to 3.4 and using all four cores. The only problem is it only recognises 2.75 gigs of ram. . Yep. RAM will be a problem under that O/S. I have a legit copy of WinXP Pro 64 bit which I do not use any more as I went to Vista64 ultimate. PM me if you want it for free. |
