32bit into 64bit dillema

tomshd_monero · Jul 2, 2014

I have a MOBO acer mcp73t-ad 32 bit, Dual Core procie. I recently purchased a 2gb ram ddr2 and already installed another 2gb ram a total of 4gb. My cpu won't get pass 70% of installation of 64bit os but it manage to read the 4gb ram. Is it not able to handle a 64bit os?

You should probably stay with the 32. It's more suited to your legacy hardware. It's good up to 4GB anyway. I know a couple tricks to make more RAM work on 32 if really needed, but I doubt that will be an issue.

what's the exact cpu model? also for 4gb of ram it's ok to stick to a 32bits os, you lose just a few hundred mb of ram. the 64 bts is useful for over 4gb

tomshd_monero :

If your microprocessor does not support the 64 bit extensions the Windows installer will notify you at the very beginning and not allow you to proceed. If it is stuck at 70% this indicates either a bad hard disk drive or a bad DVD

thanks guys maybe i'll stick with 32bit. My cpu model is acer aspire x1800 e5200 dual core. It's kinda old anyway -_-

every x86 processor made in the last decade should run a 64 bit OS just fine

But there might not be drivers for some older motherboards and mb components

What operating system are you trying to install?

That's what I was thinking was the motherboard was the limiting factor being an OEM.
