No. Don't think so. The Core 2 Duo is a proper 32-bit chip.
But its also a proper 64-bit chip. With the capability to run the AMD
64-bit instruction set.
All of that aside. I have had some successfull and partial successes
with BeOS and Zeta.
BeOS: I have (almost) managed to boot BeOS 5.00 on this machine.
I boot from the official BeOS CD. It hangs at the 'monitor' icon.
In 'Safe Mode' it gets as far as putting up the license. But the mouse
and keyboard are frozen.
Zeta 1.2: I tried booting with a 'Zeta 1.2 live CD' (one of those
demo disks).
It booted perfectly fine. The few apps that I tried seemed to work.
