Is Asus p8z77-v board x64?

[Tragain]

I want to make sure that I install the right Bios on the board and then install Win XP Professional x64.

 

[The_OGS]

Yes Intel's Z77 chipset supports 64-bit CPUs and OS.
It is currently 'top o' the line' for Socket 1155 CPUs.
The latest thing...
So x64 away!

It depends on what CPU you're using. I have that exact motherboards, and have Windows7 x64 installed. And from what I see, all CPUs that goes into that socket are x64 CPUs.

It should be working without a problem.

It has an i7 Sandy Bridge k series but it still installs x86 version

You also need the x64 version of windows. If it automatically install the x86 versin, then you need another version of windows.

That was the answer; Microsoft had mailed a 2002 SP2 cd which is only x86; I had explicitly requested an x64 version over the phone to the operater who as we all know are always "standing by".

Windows XP Professional x64 Initial release date: April 25, 2005.

Moving forward; I've replaced the motherboard and CPU in the Thermaltake Overseer RX-1 case with two more 200mm fans and 120mm on bottom pulling air in from infront of the PSU.

Now it can use an FDD again and IDE along with Sata2 & Sata3.

Then installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a OCZ Vector 256gb SSD.

Since I was going in again; I replaced the PSU with a modular Rosewill 1500w.

I picked up another small case for migrating the Asus p8z77 board too along with it's CPU and PSU and will revisit it at a later date.

Thank you all for your input. When it came right down to it and basicly just being so mad at not getting what was wanted, which was an x64 build and not realizing at the time that the Asus p8z77 board didn't have a floppy controller on it when the Barebone kit was bought from Tigerdirect; I started over. Leason learned; kits are a short cut. Do the research 1st and you will enjoy the system alot more.
