Look at the CD you've got if it doesnt say x64 - 64 bit, then you're using the 32 bit version Altho, if you've got the 64 bit version on CD, but you havent got a 64 bit system, it wont install anyway. |

| 698205 | 2008-08-18 01:25:00 | is it true? how do i find out what version of OS i'm running? so a 32bit CPU can access 4GB of address space... problem is that a chunk of that 4GB is used for memoery maped I/O. depending on chipset and such you will find your system cant "see" more than about 3.5GB. |

| 698207 | 2008-08-18 02:01:00 | Click Start --> Run Enter: winver If you dont see x64 / 64-bit, then you're running the stock standard 32-bit version like the majority of the world, and you're affected :) |
