It's too bad, the EMT64 bit shows up in bios, but it's grayed out. &nbsp;Basically locked out from it.

It's too bad, the EMT64 bit shows up in bios, but it's grayed out.  Basically locked out from it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I bought an ASUS Eee PC X101CH laptop and want to stick a 64bit OS on it, the processor is an ATOM N2600 at 1.6GHz, and I would likely also upgrade the ram. &nbsp;I put a small SSD already, and just realized that the bios won't allow me to enable the N2600's EMT64 mode.<br />
<br />
Here's the thing, there are lots of posts online about how the chip supports 64 bit, but some vendors have disabled it and there's no way to get them to allow you to do it. &nbsp;Intel can't do anything about it apparently.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if there's a way for me to enable this feature somehow? &nbsp;Any guides or outlines on how to do it?<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated.

Enabling EMT64 on Atom N2600 chip

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
