    First thing is that you need to make sure you've got the Core 2 Duo, and not the Core Duo. Second is, why're you installing the 64-bit version? 32-bit doesn't have enough compatibility issues for ya?

    You can only put 32bit on it. x86 is a generic architecture, and includes the 286, the 386, etc. 64bit support is called "x86-64" generally.

    Core Duo = Yonah = 64bit no.
    Core 2 Duo = Merom = 64bit yes.

    We're so sure because none of the Core Duo chips have 64-bit support, and all the Core 2s do. I wouldn't worry about it, personally, though. What're you concerned that you'll miss with 32-bit Vista?

    X86 is generally another term for 32 bit, X86-64 is for 64bit.
