get the 64bit version from here and follow the directions and you should be fine http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/246265-vista-x64-coretemp-tweak.html
worked on my 64bit when i had it

CoreTemp 0.96.1 With Vista x64 drivers
I packaged that one with the latest exe of coretemp.
Make sure you run "coretemp-startup.bat" first each time before you load coretemp.exe.

appreciate the help all.You can't get VID information from CPU-Z.
You need CoreTemp or Everest. (Under Everest, VID is represented by the Core Voltage tag. Note that this bit of info may only be available on the paid version.)
Lastly, if you see that your VID fluctuates with either program, or is considerably under 1.2 with a 65-nm processor, then you likely have Speedstep enabled. Disable Speedstep for an accurate reading.

Sure can, it has read my voltage from way back in my early P4 days.... Look again, Core temp reads a static 1.134v for me
The OP is not asking for voltage, he is asking for VID. That is a different number. The voltage read by CPU-Z is the actual voltage being fed into your CPU at that moment (vCore.) VID is a unique number programmed by Intel which refers to the stock voltage needed to run the chip stable at stock speeds. CoreTemp reads both VID and vCore (actual voltage.)
VID is a desirable number to know when predicting a chip's OC potential. Given two chips of the same type and stepping (ex: two Q6600 G0s,) the chip with the lower VID will likely reach the same given OC at lower voltage than the chip with the higher VID--to a point. Keep in mind that the relationship between set voltage an obtainable OC is linear to a point, and then becomes exponential. In my experience, VID is a good predictor of OC ability under the linear section of this curve. Past a given mhz, VID becomes less meaningful.
If you set your chip to run a stock, and set your vCore to AUTO in your BIOS, you will likely see the voltage reported by CPU-Z will approximately match the VID reported by CoreTemp, except when speedstep is enabled. Note that the numbers will likely not match exactly, as there are other factors (such as vOffset and/or vDroop) which account for the actual voltage fed to your chip at stock. Furthermore, while each Core 2 chip has its own set VID, it is by no means an absolute line for stock stability. Most chips can be undervolted at stock speed and remain stable.
