mobo cpu and memory

[Joan Albert]

Core 2 duo, are 32 or 64 bit? can it handle a windows 7 of 64 bit?
And if it is, and a 64 bit os can be installed, then, on this motherboard:

ECS P4M890T-M2

would be possible to install more than 3 Gb of memory?

 

[Joan Albert]

is not the first time i post here, the last time papawood really helped me out.

If your motherboard is the DDR2 version, it supports up to 4GB of RAM. If it is the DDR version, it only supports 2GB.

 

[Joan Albert]

It is the DDR2 version. But:

the cpu is compatible with a 64bit os?

 

[Archgaull]

Yes, Core 2 Duo's support 64 bit OS.

 

[Joan Albert]

So, i can install a windows 7 x64 and 8gb of ram?

remember: i have a core 2 duo, and a ECS P4M890T-M2 which accepts ddr2

 

[Archgaull]

Unfortunately, you are limited to 4GB of RAM by your motherboard.

 

[Joan Albert]

Ok, so it would be:
64 bit os: yes
memory expansion: yes, but only 4Gb

And, one last thing. I am sure that a nvidia geforce gt 530 would be compatible, but just for being sure, i ask it here, would it be compatible? the motherboard accepts pci express.

only because of that, i can say that there will be no problems, but i am not sure.

 

[Archgaull]

Yes, that is correct.

I found this http://www.cnet.com/products/ecs-p4m890t-m2-1-0b-motherboard-micro-atx-lga775-socket-p4m890-series/specs/

But i am not sure i understand all the aspects named there. By seeing these page, i can say these both memories would fit?

By speed, frequency, bus width, clock etc..?

I would go by the manufacturor website, it's got the easiest to understand, and the most reliable information.

[Joan Albert]

OK, i am writing an email to the client attention in the manufacturer's website. But, about the graphic card. You think it will be accepted? i mean, the only important thing i have to know is what cards does my board accept. My card is pci-e and the mobo too. I think it will be compatible isn't it?

 

[Archgaull]

Yes, it will be compatible.
