Quick Stupid Question

That's the only question 🙂

Is Core2Duo 64-bit? I'm thinking about my future Vista-machine, and from the latest article here, it looks like the 64-bit Vista functioned a lot better. Plus I just assumed everything post Athlon-64 made the move by default. Yay? Nay?

Thanks!
 
It is listed as being x86-64 compatable.

From the article:

AMD's AMD64 (previously known as x86-64) architecture, a 64-bit version of the x86 architecture (used in AMD's Athlon 64, Opteron, Sempron, and Turion 64 CPUs).

Intel now uses the same instruction set in newer Pentium 4 and Xeon processors and in Core 2 processors, calling it Intel 64 (previously EM64T, originally IA-32e). (Software manufacturers Microsoft and Sun call this instruction set architecture "x64".)
