64 bit version

[Jimb3893]

I'm running a quad core intel processor. Is my system compatible with windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks

It most certainly is! The only CPU Intel makes that is x86 is the Atom processor.

How much RAM do you have? What brand of motherboard?

Thanks. My computer is a dell with 3gb ram. It's running Vista now which I don't like much.

You should be able to run the 64 bit version of Windows 7 with no problems at all.

Just be sure to download all the 64 bit drivers for your Dell from their website for the particular model you have. Save them to a thumb drive, external hard drive, or burn to a CD-RW disc.

Thanks. Do you know if they are free to download from the Dell website?

 

[Jimb3893]

Dell driver download page doesn't list Windows 7 operating system. I'll have to put in a request for support I guess.

What make and model of Dell do you have?

 

[Jimb3893]

Inspiron 530

The Vista 64 bit drivers should work okay for you. You might check with Dell that desktop is not that old of a system.

Thanks I left a message for them.
