Solve : 32bit - 64bit?

Answer»

Would it be possible to convert a 32bit pc to a 64bit pc?? I am wishing to install windows 8 developer preview, and start to create apps, but the only one that comes with DEVELOPING tools is the 64bit OSYou replace the motherboard.
There is no practical way to put a 64 bit CPU into a board made for the older CPUs.
Intel or AMD?
The AMD CPU and motherboard will be a lower-cost investment for about the same PERFORMANCE.
At NewEgg and other on-line vendors you can find 64bit motherboards as low as $60. But expect to pay more for better quality and features.

BTW, You can find great Desktop Barebones under $400 .

That was last year. Now it is under $350 or about.What currency is this in?? I live in Australia...How old is your PC? Just buy and install Windows 7 64 bit and then add more than 4 GB of RAM to see a difference.Is 4GB required to run a 64bit?? QUOTE from: lewy on October 18, 2011, 02:38:21 AM

Is 4GB required to run a 64bit??
No. Unsurprisingly though Windows 7 doesn't come with windows 8 developer tools.

OTOH you could just install the SDK which would WORK on 32-bit as well.
