Hey guys,
I happen to have an Ubuntu server running on a Celeron D 330 processor. Last night I ran into and article on Wikipedia that states:
They also have hardware-level support of Intel's Intel 64 technology by virtue of it also being built into the Prescott core, although the feature is disabled in all 3x0/3x5 models (with the exception of the Celeron D model 355). It has been activated in all 3x1 and 3x6 models.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron_M
Now I am aware that the article states that the feature is disabled in the 330 processor. What I would like to know if anyone knows a way of enabling the 64 architecture on it? Is it just a matter of bridging two pins on the processor?
I'm very sceptical that it is even possible to enable 64-bit on it, the article could not be accurate, but it would still be nice if I could get Ubuntu 64 running on it.
Thanks for your help,
Jeff
