Anyone on here conversant with CPU's?

[Deleted]

My CPU is AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 2.30 gigahertz
Although it claims to be "64-bit ready" my computer will not actually accept a 64-bit Windows.
Even before the install begins, a message comes up on the screen stating that the attempted installation is not compatible with my system
Does anyone know why not?
I am having to struggle along on a 32-bit Windows for now.

Motherboard, I don't like AMD so wouldn't really know but it would be something hardware wise, You might have to go into the BIOS and Change a few settings bus not to sure
