[coLinux-users] Colinux 0.7.3 with windows Vista 32-bit running on EM64 architecture

[Shalin M. <sha...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

I need to know if colinux 0.7.3 will run with windows vista 32-bit on 64-bit
processor.
 I am using andlinux on windows XP 32 bit for running my favorite latex
editor kile. The version I am using relies on colinux 0.7.3. I am planning
to get a new Desktop from Dell and XP is no longer shipped by them as
standard configuration. The processor is Intel Core 2 Duo EM64T but the OS
can be 32-bit.

Thanks to developers for great software and the forum for input

cheers
shalin

In normal case it is no problem to run coLinux on Vista 32-bit. A 64bit
CPU I have checked my self some weeks ago:

Only one known and unresolved problem is a buggy BIOS from a Laptop:

PS: Dell has a "downgrade" option from Vista to XP. Some are for 10 EUR
 or 0 EUR, depens on the Vista version they ship as default.
