Can I run the x64 Edition of Windows Vista?

September 18, 2006 by wesmacdonald 1 Comment


 

If you go to the INTEL website and download the Processor Identification Utility and you view the "CPU Technologies" tab (by the way, the utility doesn’t work under Vista — they have a OS independent version)


The line that is important is "Intel(R) Extended Memory 64 Technology" if you have a "Yes" in the column on the right side then you’re good to go with any x64 version of Windows.

Good-bye x32, hate to see you go 🙂
