Dell laptop with Windows 8.1
I commanded to create a boot disk on my 500GB USB drive which contains ~300GB of files.
Then noticed that it was stupid, so I stopped it.
Now the 500GB USB drive with roughly a thousand files (my pictures, etc) shows in Windows explorer as a 31.9GB empty disk...
I just Got windows 8.1 64bit , When i extracted it and ran the setup.exe it gave me an error , I heard lot of people say that Core 2 duo just does't support any 64Bit OS , Is it True ?
Edit : It's T6600
I have a GTX 750 in my system right now, I'd like to increase my performance but don't want to replace this because it is fairly new. Is it possible to SLI this 750 with a 970? If not, would it be worth the 150$ to get another 750 and SLI them or just leave this? Thanks

Cheers!
