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.
