All Core 2 Duo processors are capable or running 64-bit applications but I don't think any PC is sold with a 64-bit operating system installed. There simply is not support in the way of drivers and application software. Your Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7200 is running in 32-bit mode - Sony don't support 64-bit.<BR /><BR />There are considerable performance advantages to 64-bit but it is not a practical solution for 99% of users - perhaps in two/three years time?<BR /><BR />Have a read here: -<BR /><BR /><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit</A><BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.si/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 05 Aug 2007 09:57:02 GMT Blencogo 2007-08-05T09:57:02Z How to identify whether 32 or 64 bit? https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-identify-whether-32-or-64-bit/m-p/145127#M70404 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I appreciate that this is a very basic question but how do I determine whether my AR21S is 32 or 64 bit? It does not seem to mention anything in the technical specification and quite often you seem to have a choice of drivers being 32 or 64 and I am unsure which applies to my laptop.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 05 Aug 2007 08:07:33 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-identify-whether-32-or-64-bit/m-p/145127#M70404 billbirchall 2007-08-05T08:07:33Z Re: How to identify whether 32 or 64 bit? https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-identify-whether-32-or-64-bit/m-p/145130#M70405 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi billbirchall.<BR /><BR />It is the processor architecture that determines if you can run 64-bit or just 32-bit.
