Awhile back I got a Biostar 945GC-M4, Socket 478, Intel Motherboard http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/...hp?S_ID=440#dl and now I have a processor that is listed as supported.http://ark.intel.com/products/27453/...Hz-533-MHz-FSB
I'm a bit confused on 2 points. The processor info mentions 64 bit instructions but seems to be single core. The motherboard manual is just a bit vague to me on which ram I need. I know it takes DDR2 but beyond that confusion sets in. I'll be using linux and windows os dual booted and have either 64 bit or 32 bit available for both os. Can someone explain a bit about the 64 bit instructions listed? And what ram and how much should I order. This is just for a spare box that'll be used for watching vids and surfing around.
thanks
