C2D E4300 and 64 bit

[michaelsteve]

Hi ,

Please does C2D have 64 bit abilities , i know that intel stripped off VT from E4300.

The e4300 will run a 64 bit windows program. VT is the only function disabled.

I've never actually seen anyone use VT, so I consider the E4300 to be better then the E6300; it runs nearly as fast, a bit less expensive, and will overclock smoothly. EM64T is around on all C2D/C2Q processors, though not CS/CD.

your right intel removed VT from core2 4000 series cpu's, they did the same with pentium d 9x5 series

Pentium 4 -- some are 64-bit and others are not. Just look for EM64T capability or Intel64 in the product description.

all cpu's with 64 bits:-
celeron d 300 series ending in 1, 6 or 7 - ie 346
pentium 4 500 series ending in 1 - ie 521
pentium 4 600 series
pentium d 900 series
core2 duo 4000 series
core2 duo 6000 series
core2 quad series

VT is just Intel's virtualization technology although I have no idea why you'd want to go 64bit. 64bit is not ready for mainstream yet. There are too many driver issues still and also there are very few 64bit programs (if any, I don't know of any at least).

core2 duo 4000 series

core2 quad series

Also add the pentium d 800 series

Also add the Xeon 3000 series as well as they are on socket 775 as well. On the Xeon DP/MP side, the socket 604 and 771 chips are all 64-bit too.

Microsoft just released VirtualPC 2007 for free -- and I have a couple of older software suites that I use but will not install on WinXP, so I will use it. There are a handful of reasons but not many, more or less it is not useful on the desktop for the casual user.

jackFor free, you say? I never heard of Microsoft releasing anything for free.................... whatever I don't have a VT processor so why even worry about it?

MS releases things like PowerPoint and Word viewers for free. Oh, and IE and WMP for the Mac, or at least they used to. I think that's about the extent of it though. But remember- they're a proprietary software company. They sell licenses and you get (some) support for free, rather than the programs being free and support costing you, a la Red Hat and Novell.
