My Processor is P4. Can it be 32bit? I thought that
all P4's are 64bit.
Anyhow, is there a big difference in performance

Guys/Gals,
I tried to install the latest 64bit distribution.
However, I get this error:
�You CPU does not support long mode, use a 32
bit
distribution�
even though, my PC is new. I have a Gigabyte 915G
(GA-81915G Duo) motherboard with pinless 3.4GHz
Intel
CPU.
Can any one help?
Regards,
OOzy

there is no wonderful speed pickup like going from 128 meg memory to 512
meg memory, but 64bit is quicker on many things.
