Several years ago a friend, who owns his own business, gave me one of his old servers because he knows that computers are my hobby. It's been sitting around my basement since then, but it has finally worked its way to the top of my "to do" list. I just fired it up for the first time yesterday. Basically, I am trying to determine if this is a 64-bit- capable machine or not, and I can't tell. Here's what the BIOS setup program reports for the CPU:
Boot Strap Processor Installed Speed: 2.40 GHz Socket Name: BSP Manufacturer: GenuineIntel Version: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPUID: 0F27 L2 Cache: 512 KB I consulted Wikipedia's web page on Intel Processors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors), but was unable to find a processor in the list which met all the criteria (Xeon in the name, speed, and L2 cache). The machine has a Phoenix BIOS, version 1.28, dated 05/22/2003. That may help narrow things down. (For example, it is unlikely that a processor introduced in 2008 would be given a BIOS dated in 2003.) Any ideas? Oh, one other thing. Hyper-Threading was enabled in the BIOS, suggesting that, as viewed by an operating system, the machine has at least two CPUs. But that may not be 100% reliable. The machine has 1 GB of RAM installed. (Two 512M SIMMs and 2 empty SIMM slots.) -- .''`.
