| | Do I have a 64bit or 32bit processor Hello all, I have an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor. However, when I type WINMSD in Run I get the following System Type: X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 15 Model 47 Stepping 0 AuthenticAMD ~2200Mhz So do I have a 64bit or a 32 bit processor? I got the 32bit edition of home premium today, and just ordered the 64bit from Microsoft. |

| | RE: Do I have a 64bit or 32bit processor I also want to add that I have 1gig of PC3200 and a Geforce 6600 256mb graphics card. Will I suffer performance loss with the 64bit as opposed to the 32bit?

| | Re: Do I have a 64bit or 32bit processor You have a 64-bit CPU and I would stick with 32-bit Vista, 64-bit Vista is slower and harder to find software and drivers to work on it. -- Chris Sheets 303.946.4294 "Tyler" <Tyler@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7A2F874B-C753-487D-8DC3-00928D0530E5@microsoft.com... > Hello all, > I have an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor. > However, when I type WINMSD in Run I get the following > System Type: X86-based PC > Processor x86 Family 15 Model 47 Stepping 0 AuthenticAMD ~2200Mhz > > So do I have a 64bit or a 32 bit processor?

| | Re: Do I have a 64bit or 32bit processor Why would you order the 64bit version if you are just asking if you have a 64bit processor? What if you only had a 32bit Processor?
