I don't know this particular board but was given a laptop a few years ago
which in theory should be able to run 64 bit but would only load the 32 bit
version. A check of the details lead me to have to update the BIOS, when
it took 64 bit quite happily. It might be worth checking. Why spend
James, afaik you should be able to run a 64 bit version of any OS
unless you happen to have a 32bit processor in there. The motherboard
is a Socket 775 board, which is just on the cusp of where there were
some 32bit Pentium 4 CPUs that would fit in that slot. If you have a
Pentium 4 then it's not
Burn the 64bit ISO image to USB or CD and try to boot from it. If it boots,
it'll run. If not, it won't.

I'd be grateful if someone could advise if i can run Xubuntu 64 bit on
this machine. Reading the manual it mentions about running 32 bit
windows and then also stating one can run 64 bit windows. I've left 32
bit Xubuntu on there. Now i need to install latest jammy jellyfish LTS
which is 64 bit.
