64-bit CPU For E21002 motherboard

[Michael Crivello]

I need a cpu that's compatible with an E21002 motherboard that is 64-bit and runs at 2 ghtz or higher...money is kid of tight right now so I'm not looking for anything too expensive.

Thanks in advanced for any helpful response/s.

What's an E21002 motherboard? Could you provide more info or a link to it?

Here's what cruicial.com says about it when I do the system scanner:

Your D945GTP System Specs

Memory😀DR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-5300

Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.
How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS. More information about OS memory maximums can be found here.
Memory or DRAM is the 'working' memory of the computer. It's used to store data for programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary basis.

SATA Version -- SATA 2 - 3Gb/s
Storage Drives -- hard drives and solid state drives -- are the permanent memory for the programs and documents on your computer.
Data Transfer Rate is the rate at which data can be sent or received. This is determined by your motherboard. A drive with a higher transfer rate will only run at the rate of the motherboard's transfer rate.
Cache is a type of working memory that allows the drive to perform faster.
RPM is the rotations per minute of a hard drive which effects the speed of data transfer.
Solid State Drives are non-moving memory, so access speed is instant.

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945gtp/sb/cs-026628.htm You could buy a Pentium D 940 or faster on eBay; several 940, 945 and 950 cost $10 or less. At over $30 Pentium D 960 are way too expensive for such old technology.

Why did you install a 2GB memory module on a motherboard that can't use them?

 

[Michael Crivello]

Actually, I installed more than four and it sees almost 3.5...I'm hoping if I get a 64-bit cpu it will be able to utilize 4gb.

 

[GhislainG]

Even if you install a 64-bit processor and upgrade to a 64-bit OS, you still won't be able to use all 4GB.

 

[Michael Crivello]

Ok, this might be a stupid question but what if I got a video card with it's own memory...I mean isn't the reason that I can't utilize all that because of what the video uses?

 

[GhislainG]

It won't make much of a difference, i.e., you still won't be able to use all 4GB unless the BIOS has a memory remap option and even then it may not work. Why do you need 4GB?
