How to tell if my computer is 32 bit or 64 bit

Heyo. I ran that CPU-ID and I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Socket 775 LGA with an ASUS P5N32-SLI-SE-Deluxe and I've been looking and looking trying to find out if my system will support a 64bit operating system. I want to try out that Windows 7 RC and I'm not sure if I should use the 32 or the 64 bit version. Anyone know if they can help me out?

Thanks,

S

Yes it is 64bit. Pretty much any new processor from Intel and AMD are 64 bit.

Ok, the strange thing is that I accidentally (by total fluke) downloaded and tried to install the Windows 7 RC 64bit version and it would not run. When I realized my mistake and tried the 32bit version, it ran great. So I was wondering why I can't use a 64bit OS with a Core 2 Duo?

Thanks,

I ran into that problem with Vista 64 Bit on the same laptop I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit.

So, does this mean that my 64bit processor can't run 64bit operating systems?

That isn't what I am saying at all. Your processor supports 64 bit and "should" run 64 bit operating systems. Like I said in my previous post, I had issues getting 64 bit Vista to run on my laptop even though my processor is a 64 bit one. On the same laptop however, I am able to run 64 bit Windows 7 without a problem. It could have been a bad download.

No, I tried the same disk on an HP 64bit system and it worked great. I can't figure this out.

really simple.. just head to your processor's main site page and look up your processors spec's ( if its able to run 64-bit it will say that in the instruction set). If you look to your Pc for help your not going to get much feedback. You can run 32 bit on a 64 bit processor.

the problem I am having is that I cant seem to run a copy of Vista 64bit on my Xp 32bit. gives me an error saying that i need to boot to install. how the hell do you do that on a P5LD2 motherboard???
