jimmy89 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 Hi,The computer that i purchased almost a year ago has an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. Can someone tell me whether this processor is 64bit or not. I know that it is definitely not a dual core but im not as sure about the 64bit.I have used CPU-Z to get some info about my system and its reports that the processor instructions are x86-64! does that mean 64bit? The other info that CPU-Z gave to me about my processor are below.Family: FExt. Family: FModel: CExt Model: 1CStepping: 0Revision: DH8-D0Code Name Palermo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smyke89 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 well... i don't think it can natively run 64 bit software... i suggest everybody to check out the specifications from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ always check out the site of your hardware producer, they can tell you more than anyone..good lucksmyke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2006 This page has a list of all the AMD Sempron 2800+ models. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Down at the bottom, it lists 5 different models. If you can match the model number (OPN PIB) to one of those five, you can check if it has 64bit support by clicking the view details link and looking for 32/64 under Operating Mode. If it has the /64 then it has 64bit support, otherwise it is only 32bit.~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy89 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2006 how do i find the Model Number (OPN PIB) for my processor. Would i be written on any documentation or would it actually by on the processor itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wutske 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2006 OPN is etched on the core or on the IHS. same info about AMD cores @ wiki: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Check out this website: http://www.ultimatehardware.net/166.htm and scroll down for the CPU-z screenshot. That's a 64bit CPU: look at the instructions list, at the end there's x86-64, that means it's a 64bit capable cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 Umm why would it support 64 bit instructions without supporting 64 bit, and if its the same code name... Like duh.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
