Basic Question : Will this PC run 32 Bit Xp O.S. ... Not my Expertise.

[chrisoborski]

I am hoping this is in the right Forum... Thanks!!! I think this should be okay.... I have found a used computer that appears to have a 32 bit processor or possibly a 64 bit processor. I am not sure if this comp will run a 32 O.S. I am hoping to get help from someone who is more tech savvy than I. I am an advance computer user and have never run into this sort of problem before as this is not my area of expertise. Hopefully this should be a pretty basic question based on the processor which I am not sure if is 64 bit or 32 bit. If it was 64 bit would it still be able to run a 32 bit O.S.

The processor is a Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 and from what i can tell 32 bit but am not sure. But here is a link from Yahoo.... Yahoo! Answers? Here is a link of CPU Specs... CPU Specs

Thanks To Those Who Can Help!!!

Your processor is capable of using either an x64 or x86 operating system.
