NoLiMiT06 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ok guys I have downloaded EVEREST and I got to looking at the information for my processor and it seems that it is compatible with 64-bit. Below is a screenshot and I was wondering if someone could confirm this for me or not.

Nagisan Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 According to this page: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36681 The Celeron 585 supports Intel 64, which is a fancy way of saying x64. Ninja'ed x3 :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/892644-does-my-processor-support-64-bit/#findComment-592492958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEX4S Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Celeron :x Like everyone has said, it does. I assume you are wanting to throw more than 3.5GB of RAM in that machine, is that your reason for wanting x64 ?

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted April 15, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2010 I didn't think many people used/had Celeron chips anymore.

Reacon Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I think the older Intel processors don't support x64 natively, but can emulate? it in a way. Either or, your processor's well enough on running 64 bit apps. But unless you have something specific to run, or want to put more than 3 gigs of ram in your comp, I recommend you stick to x86 until you get a new rig. Judging by your processor's socket, your computer's long overdue for an upgrade/replacement.

Judging by your processor's socket, your computer's long overdue for an upgrade/replacement. This is kinda like what I wanted to say at first. Something along the lines of "Who cares ? That CPU is so bad, you can throw 6GB of RAM at it & it will still be a ridiculous bottleneck you cant get around.." or something like that. But I decided not to because there are always some people who will chime in with "I hava Celeron and I play WoW with no problem", or "TEX4S, youre such a computer snob, not everyone can afford ....." So I just typed what I did. But I still say Celeron :x OFF TOPIC: Andrew, your avatar looks like Ziggy Stardust - what is it exactly ?

Richard Hammond Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hes on a laptop i dont think its as simple as buying a core i7 chip and board :p The modern celerons are pretty decent beasts they are all based on Core 2 arch so its not ALL bad.

Well, I stand corrected. Like Andrew, I havent even heard of anyone having one of those in at least a year - then again - dont know anyone in the Acer, E-machine, "got my computer from Wal-mart along with a box of diapers" crowd. lol Man, my fiance is right - Im such a computer snob :cry: It looks like "Achmed" The Dead Terrorist! LOL Seriously ? Man I think it looks like David Bowie back in the Ziggy Stardust days - very feminine looking IMO, kinda creepy Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/892644-does-my-processor-support-64-bit/#findComment-592493330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokiToki Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The modern celerons are pretty decent beasts they are all based on Core 2 arch so its not ALL bad. +1. I have an E3200 which I have overclocked to 3.66GHz :devil: . A $50 chip performing on par with my E8400@4Ghz. :woot: And don't forget, these new 45nm Celeron Dual Cores out perform their older 65nm brother, the former Pentium Dual Core with its higher clock speed, 45nm architecture, same cache size, and even has virtualization technology and all the energy saving functions (Speed Step, C1E, C2E, C3E, C4E). For once, Intel didn't cripple a Celeron chip. Well, I stand corrected.

vladmphoto Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I didn't think many people used/had Celeron chips anymore. This is true. I have never owned a Celeron chip and personally I thank the man upstairs that I have had the finances to afford a proper CPU because I don't think I could handle the almost comical on-board cache sizes......

Richard Hammond Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 They are fit for purpose though, web browsing and simple photo editing doesnt require massive amounts of l2 cache.

NoLiMiT06 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thanks guys, I got the laptop for $300 bucks at Best Buy because my dad worked for Geek Squad at the time and it was a laptop that had a bad keyboard and it was sent off and refurbished. Anyways the thing runs better than my moms Dell that has a Core2Duo with 4gb of Ram so idk. :p Thanks again for the replies :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/892644-does-my-processor-support-64-bit/#findComment-592496540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
