| Will this CPU do 64-bit? Just purchased Win7 (64-bit) for my Dell computer running an AMD Sempron 3600+ (2Ghz) (AM2 socket) CPUz reports the following instruction-set:
MMX (+), 3DNow! (+), SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64
I'm guessing that this means Windows7 64bit will install OK? Just want to make sure! This is different from Intel processors, which indicate "EM64T" for the 64-bit instruction set....
Thanks! |

Just as long as its not IA64
EMT64 = x86-64 |

Suppose it's moot, but shouldn't you have asked first and THEN bought? lol |

| Dissassembled - you're right! I suddenly realized that I'd assumed that all the machines in my house are all 64-bit (but all others are Intel too) -- This was AMD, so I wanted to make sure to check.. Thanks all, for the feedback. 64bit no prob then.... |

kudos:3 | For future reference »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 about half way down are the AMD and then Intel 64bit capable CPUs. |
