can this cpu handle a 64bit operating system?

Any 2900MHz AMD processor would be 64-bit capable. Super PIII | Unlocked ES Tualatin @ 1.8GHz (150x12, 1.65v, 512K L2) 3GB PC2700 | 500GB | Radeon x1950Pro | Apollo Pro 266T | Win 7 Pro

Indeed, that is a 64 bit processor. More info below. http://bit.ly/Vj3U1e

Your CPU can handle 64-bit, but make sure you have enough RAM (4GB or more recommended) & that 64-bit drivers are available for your hardware. http://www.jackcobben.nl/?p=2013 http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-...
