Is the processor a pentium 4 or a pentium D? It MUST be 64 bit capable to run Windows Server 2008. I am adding a server to a small network, and I have a license for Win Server 2008 R2, but it only works on x64 based systems. Thanks in advance, Mike.

The Intel D945PLRN motherboard supports the Intel Pentium D945 (sSpec SL9QB only). Check the following link for all supported processors: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945plrn/sb/CS-026634.htm You can purchase the retail version of this board (that includes the i/o shield) at www.oemxs.us for $20.

Yes, this CPU is a 64-bit processor. It is designed to run a 64-bit OS. I am running Win7 Pro 64-bit on my Dell vostro 420 with this CPU. The 12MB of L2 Cache on the processor gives it very good speed and power.

My Techs chose this model as it is upgradable to 16MB (2 x 8MB sticks). The factory delivered 4MB stick must be removed. They run Windows 8 with Hyper-V and multple Windows Server 2008 R2 with no problems. The i7 processor is a work horse. A solid device.

I'm running Red Hat Linux on mine sorry cant give advice on Win7. Just keep in mind you can run more ram in your box with 64 bit and I know the processor works great at 64bit.

It is a 64 bit instruction chip it can run either. We run Windows 7 64 bit in a media pc with this chip.

Thus Is an enterprise class server solution not a gaming rig. Xeon processors are not geared towards supporting games. Buy an i5 or i7 based system.

Yes. I installed windows 7 pro 64bit on the computer that has this processor in it. Great processor. i do a lot of gaming and video editing, and while my system does have its bottlenecks, this processor isnt one of them.

this motherboard for dual processor cpu, use for xeon server, this is the best , but your intel i7 950 single you can try this (SUS Socket 1366/Intel X58/Quad SLI & Quad CrossFireX/SATA3.0&USB3.0;/A&GbE;/ATX Motherboard s SABERTOOTH X58) i use this one for my i7 980x 3 years ago , i think this motherboard is good for you

Sorry, this Dell PC is just too old. Not compatable with newer CPU,s Its time to retire this machine. Dont waste your time and money on trying to upgrade this PC

Not sure about windows server 2008, but I do have it installed on W7 64bit. It has been working with no problems.

I upgraded mine with: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, Pentium D 945 (BIOS A11), 4GB DDR2 533MHz RAM (Max), Intel Solid-state drive, SATA3 Port Card, GTX 650 Ti Boosted 2GB Graphics Card, and a 450W Power Supply. All of that coupled with Ethernet connection and this computer has smoothly ran any game I have thrown at it with the settings maxed out! It's awesome. I don't know if this helps for your question.

Maybe you question is if this server support 32 or 64 bit the answer is Yes but cpu never are 32 or 64 bit who control that is The OS ( Software) and never the server

Yes, this CPU is able to run 64-bit operating systems and software. I used this CPU model, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and it ran Great.

Few servers come with an OS out of the box. Win Server 2011 is fifty bucks here. You'll also be smart to throw in more RAM. If you are not used to tearing apart PC's or working with routers and switches, this machine is on the end of the tech cycle and probably not the best toy for you, unless you want to learn a LOT.

Hi. This is a processor quite old to buy it just to update an old pc. But a good motherboard for this processor would be any intel P45 chipset.Currently the Pentium G3220 gives you a kick in the ass to the E8400.Best regards!

The i7-950 is not on the list of supported processors. The socket is the same but I wouldn't chance it. This board is tricky enough even with supported hardware.
