Question on My Pc

Ok i Bought a PC AMD x64 Processor and i was told the 64mean a 64bit but my Pc only gose to 32bit? well i was told that it could be my videocard? - im guessing mabe its the monitor?

Or are we both wrong >.>

 

AMD 64bit processors cannot run on older AMD Athlon/Duron (SocketA/462) motherboards. 64bit starts off on Socket 754, 940, and the ever more popular 939.

Your videocard/monitor have nothing to do with the system running a 64bit CPU.

 

Morph416 is there another way you can explain this to me sry im not very good at whats good for the PC im usally more ove game play and movies >.>

but if what your telling me that my pc cant get it then --; why do they sell it saying its a 64 Sigh

 

ok if ur talking about going to your display options and u only have a 32 bit color scheme yes than that is affebted by your vid card now the x64 proc means that ur bus is 64 bits wide not 32 like older cpus now this has nothing to do with colors and video rez just that with the right programs your processes preform twice as fast

 

Oh ok.
I wish i new more about PC >.> but i dont.

thank you both of you for the help.

Now to find a videoCard & Memory - another HDD?
Man if only Money grew on trees >.>

 

if u want to get 64 bit power u should upgrade to windos xp 64 editon cuz normal xp only suports 32 bit thats why ur not getting 64 bit

 

many things run faster with 64 bit processors on 32 bit windows. don't "upgrade" to window 64 bit edition...it's nothing but a giant pain in the ass.

 

you'll find more problems with windows 64 edition than you'd find in the bottom of a bottle.

 

I didnt even know there was a xp 64 edition lol

OK so upgrade is bad well not bad but its a hassule of probloms ok ill stay away from 64 edition.

but if i get a better video card i can make it to 64 right? =' or I cant and have to stay on 32 idm idk how a 64bit screen looks like soim not really like omg i reallllllly want it. but i wouldnt mind .

 

there is no 64 bit color. processor and graphics capabilities are completely unrelated along those lines. getting a better video card will improve your gameplay and give you more graphics possibilities, but no color system in use is based on 64-bit color...it's ALL 32 or less at this point. as said before, with a processor, 64-bit refers to the amount of information process, not the pretty colors on your monitor.

 

=' ok tyvm i now understand much better.
