Can the E6600 run a 32 bit OS?

[kfc469]

I am looking to get the Core 2 Duo E6600 on newegg: Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail It says that it has 64 bit support but does that mean that it won't run a 32 bit OS and 32 bit apps?

no itll run 32bit

yes it runs 32bit os and software, and its not really true 64bit processor like the itanium its EXt.64, so the E6600 can run 32 and 64bit os/programs

ok great. thank you both.

yes.... it supports both 32bit and 64bit

The processor has the "ability" to run both 32-bit and 64-bit O/S and programs. Just like my P4 630.
