Is this CPU 64bit?

Intel? Centrino? Duo Mobile Technology

? Intel? Core? Duo processor T2050

? 1.60 GHz , Level 2 cache 2 MB, 533 MHz Bus speed

Ive got a new laptop could anyone tell me if this CPU is 64bit?

[Vice]

It is 32-Bit only.

Core Duo and Core Solo are 32-Bit

Core 2 Duo are 32-Bit & 64-Bit compatible.

You have a T2050 which is a Core Duo processor.

[chconline Veteran]

Nope. Not the Yonahs.

[So-Unreal]

windows 64? I would not try it.

[Marshalus Veteran]

OOOH, I thought the original Core Duo had EM64T. Crap.

[Lasker]

Pentium D

Pentium 4 HT

Core Duo 2

are 64bit compatible, all others 32bits

windows 64? I would not try it.

Your opinion of the operating system wasn't solicited, or maybe you didn't read. Since is has been determined that it is not a 64-bit cpu, he would not be capable of running XP x64 in any case.

I'll have to check if its Core 2 Duo. Im sure it said that on the box

[chconline Veteran]

The T2050 is not a Core 2 Duo. The Merom core Core 2 Duo are indicated by model numbers T5xxx and T7xxx. Eg T5200, T7400 are Core 2 Duos supporting X86-64 extensions.

Is this CPU any good then?

[Japlabot]

It is still an excellent CPU

[Vice]

It is a great processor just because it's not a Core 2 Duo doesn't mean it's not good.

[L3thal Veteran]

Indeed it is a good processor and with prices lowering with the introduction of the Core 2 Duo's, they are really a steal.

Pentium D

Pentium 4 HT

Core Duo 2

are 64bit compatible, all others 32bits

Correct statement is:

PentiumD (all)

Pentium4 6xx, Pentium4 5x1, 517, 524, 5x6 and 519K, Pentium 4 EE 3.73.

Core 2 (Solo, Duo, Quad)

Not all Pentium4 HT are 64bits and Intel really did a damn mess on naming them :s

Not all Pentium4 HT are 64bits and Intel really did a damn mess on naming them confused.gif

LOL yes :|

Ok cool thanks for that. I have got a new laptop with that CPU, 1GB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive. Im assuming this will be good enough to run Vista :)

Ok so another question, Windows Media Center Edition 05 or Windows XP Pro for this laptop?
