poweredge 1800 64-bit
I have a poweredge 1800. it has one processor with the following specs:
Name Intel Xeon
Codename Irwindale
Specification Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz
Package (platform ID) Socket 604 mPGA (0x0)
CPUID F.4.3
A program called CPU-Z says this processor is capable of EM64T capable which I thought meant it can run 64 bit OS. The poweredge 1800 ads I found online say it is 64-bit capbable, but when I go into OMSA it says the the processor is not capable of 64-bit.
Why does it say that?
Thanks.

It's possibly that OMSA is detecting that you're running a 32-bit version of Windows.
I don't think there's an option to turn EM64T on or off in the bios; it's always on (unlike VT on newer servers, which does have an option to be turned on or off), but you could check the bios for the processor settings.
