Do i have 32-bit or 64-bit?

I just started playing gta 3 on my compaq c502us with integrated GMA950, and it runs really well, except for the fact that every 2 minutes the screen goes black for a second and i can hear noises then comes back. I looked around for answers to this on google, and found that other people where having this problem with vista and the 945g and gma950's. so apparently i have to download one of these to fix it but im not sure which one i should get because they say different bit sizes.

It depends on what procesoe you have. If you have a Core Duo, then it is 32-bit, and if you have a Core 2 Duo, then you have a 64-bit processor. The 32-bit fix will work on either processor.

 

i know i dont have a core 2 duo so does this meen my laptop has a core duo because i dont see it say core duo anywhere. here's the link to my laptop. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=343924&pfp=hpf1

 

It's a Celeron M processor, so no, you do not have 64-bit.

 

If your running vista in 32 bit (not 64 bit) then use the 32 bit fix.

I believe you only use the 64 bit fix if your running vista in 64 bit.

 

Get the 32bit patch.

 

thanks guys patch worked perfect.

 

That's right. The only reason you would install the 64-bit patch would be if you were running a 64-bit operating system.
