That's more than enough. Somebody put a copy of the manual for this board online. I can't access the whole thing, but the table of contents confirms that it supports 64-bit operation. Maybe Felix is right about the BIOS being corrupt. It looks like ASUS still provides a BIOS file download: https://www.asus.com/us/support/CPU/1/22/39/6/PYvbfOokwxUzJky3/C20090604160704/ How to actually flash it is another question. What happens if you just try to boot (not install) from a 64-bit-only live CD (any distro)? E.
