Hello,

> Yet when I try to install windows xp x64 I get CPU is not compatible

It seems that your Processor is not a 64 bit Version. AFAIK has not the
EMT64 Extension.

http://www.hardtecs4u.com/reviews/2005/intel_p4_6xx/

The 3,64 Version is not x64 compatible.

The two cpu's show when the real cpu has hyperthreading enabled.
If you had a dual core cpu with hyperthreading you would see four cpu's.

If it isnt EM64T then it wont work with x64.

This is exactly why Microsoft is NOT making 64-bit windows a RETAIL product.

You mean I can't connect two of my 32bit machines and run a 64bit OS?
Questions like that?

It depends on the manufucture (if it was brought as a package) as to wether
they want to supply the P4 with EMT64.

If it was built by him self the the P4 he chose was an P4 without EMT64
which is why it don't work and in order to use Windows XP X64 he would need
to go out and buy the P4 with EMT64 or stick with XPSP2 and see if he can
get a refund on Windows XP X64.

You do not have a 64 bit processor. The P4 3.46 EE is a 32 bit processor.

Another brain dead idiot chimes in with a completely wrong answer.

Jimmy, just shut up. You're not big enough to play with the big boys.

Are you really as stupid as your post makes you sound?

F'ing idiot.
