Mantari,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

To see if your system can run the 64 bit OS follow these steps to verify.

Start-Contorl Panel-System and Maintenance-Performance Information and Tools-View and Print Details-In the system information section you will notice 64-bit capable and will have YES next to it if your system is capable of running the 64-Bit OS.

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the quick reply. :emotion-1:

Could you let me know how to find it in XP?

I've had a look around but couldn't find Performance Information

Mantari, I cannot find that information in XP. You can install a 64-bit OS on this system. Davet50 provided a link to download the 64-bit Vista Drivers for your system in his post below.

Could you clear up a doubt I still have?

I thought a 64bit OS could only work on a 64bit processor and I'm surprised you said I could use it with my system.

If you have a moment, could you try to explain it

Thanks

Actually since my last post I have found the following application which checks to see if you can run a 64bit operation system
