I installed windows 7 Prof 64 bit in this machine. I noticed it is a 32 bit machine.
How is this possible?
What implications would this 64 bit installation have?

Most Windows discs have both versions. If your system doesn't support EM64T, the 32 bit version will install. However, ALL Core 2 CPUs (which this system uses) are EM64T compliant. Only the earlier Core Solo and Core Duo are not EM64T.
