I found my HP mini 210-4000nr is Intel atom N2800 with 4GB RAM with 32bit BIOS - if BIOS was 32bit/64bit it would be fully 64-bit computer. Intel should update their website - the current specifications for Atoms only tell half the truth. My guess is that Intel sold Atoms to Asus at a lower price - but demanded that 64 bit be disabled in the BIOS, leaving them only 32 bit. Asus wouldn't have disabled this without good reason. In short: the 64 bit support is disabled. It's not possible to move the cursor up to any of the settings in gray. Oh! I would have posted by BIOS page - but needs more than 10 reputation before I can do that. Here's my BIOS page ("EMT64 Not Supported") Consult with your system vendor for more information." Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Intel has a tiny piece of fine print on the Atom specifications page that states: "64-bit computing on IntelĀ® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for IntelĀ® 64 architecture. It appears as if some manufacturers are disabling 64 bit CPU support within the BIOS - and not enabling the user to turn it back on via BIOS settings.
