if i upgraded the cpu to intel pentium dual core t3400
and increased the ram to 4 GB

Solution
Both cpu's in your post are 64-bit compatible. You wont be able to do an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit you will have to do a clean reinstall of a 64-bit OS.


that's the problem i don't think it supports a 64 bit OS
