Hi, I don't know if this is in the right place, but could someone tell me if I can run 64 bit Windows on my Hardware?
Specs:
Epox 4PDA5+
Intel Celeron D 2.9GHz
nVidia GeForce 6200
1.5 (soon 2)GB RAM

Run this first to find out.

That didn't really help. I want to know if I can Install 64 bit Windows XP/7 on my hardware.

Just looking at your post,
You will need more ram( see if your system can handle 4GB of ram) and
Check hardware for running Windows 7 64 bit.
I ran this test coming from Vista 32bit and it showed me what I needed if I was to upgrade to 7 64bit.

You should be able to with more RAM.

Intel Celeron D processor family

Nope.

The Celeron D 330 seems to not support the 64 bit instruction set.

Sorry to hear that.
With the costs of computers being so cheap you may want to check out local area sales and get a new one with 7 Home Premium already installed.
Have a great week-end.

Damn. Are you sure a RAM upgrade won't do it?

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Will you Celeron D support more RAM?

Damn. Are you sure a RAM upgrade won't do it?

This say's no,

Intel® Celeron® D Processor 330 (256K Cache, 2.66 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SL7C6, SL7DL, SL7KZ, SL7NV, SL7TH, SL7VY, SL8HL

Your Celeron chip does not support any 64 bit OS , if it did it would say EM64T in the instructions line so 64 bit is out for you
you can run 32 bit only !!
Sorry and Good Luck

 

[rhydiansmith]

Aww. There's got to be some way?

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Sorry to say you are beating a dead horse my friend.
I admire your determination but your system it is what it is.

 

[bobkn]

Aww. There's got to be some way?

As far as I have been able to find, no EM64T CPUs have ever been made for Socket 478 (your motherboard). Socket 775 (on the Intel side) is as far back as it goes.

I admit to curiosity as to why anyone would wish to install Win7 X64 on such an old piece of, er, hardware.

Would you be willing to run the 32 bit version of Windows 7?
