I need some advice. I am running MS Vista on an Intel e6420 dual core 32-bit processor. I am getting ready to upgrade to Windows-7 and would prefer to run the 64-bit version of the OS. Is it possible to simply replace the Intel e6420 processor with a 64-bit processor from AMD or Intel and everything will work fine? I don't know what the socket form for the Intel e6420 is, or if there are 64-bit processors that use the same socket form.
If a simple swap of processors is possible, can you recommend an AMD or Intel processor that will work? If I change processors, will there be any compatibility issues with RAM or bus?
Thanks
