CUViper 0 Posted July 12, 2000 64-bit Windows 2000 is for.... well.... 64-bit processors. In layman's terms, not for you. All pentiums, athlons, etc. are 32-bit. Intel's new Itanium processor will be 64-bit, and that is what the news releases are talking about. Share this post Link to post

ComputerMan 0 Posted July 15, 2000 There was supposed to be there even an Digital Alpha cpu support for win64 which was dumped many months ago. With the lack of support by then Digital now Compaq, the platform choices for win64 are Pentium V?, AMD x86 64, some else out there ? Share this post Link to post
