Hi, I'm looking to buy this CPU:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115042
I'm trying to figure out what OS would work best with it. Does this processor support Vista 64-bit? I'm looking to get 8GB of memory but I heard that the 8GB only works with a 64-bit processor and I don't see that listed anywhere under the processor specs. First off, is that even true? 2nd off... will this work?
Can someone help straighten me out??
