Which Core 2 Duo chips are x64 (all of them?)

[darkgen]

Hello,

To clarify, I am thinking of buying "mother" a new laptop and I was specifically after the Sony VAIO VGN-FE31H, However I wanted to clarify that the cpu, a 1.66Ghz Intel Core (2?) Duo T2300 is indeed fully 64bit compatible, i.e. will happily run xp x64. A dizzy question I'll warrant. (Having checked intel's website it would seem yes)

Cheers, Paul.

its an intel core duo, not core 2 duo, it is based on the yonah core and is NOT 64bit, it is only 32bit unfortunately

Hmmm, how frustrating, Intel's site is very misleading.

Cheers, for that.

Oh and regarding why x64, I have a spare license, I could leave the OEM licensed WMC which comes with the laptop I suppose.

It surely can't be that disimilar, er can it?

Fair enough. Cheers, Paul

Interestingly enough, looking at the spec, as quoted by certain other etailors, the Sony VAIO FE31H (same model) has a "T5500 Core 2 Duo"

Hmmm, now this does support a 64bit OS right?
