32 or 64 Bit

[Wislu Plethora]

My friend Vito down on Mulberry Street sold me a PC that
had fallen off a truck. How can I tell if it is 32 or 64
bit? Vito told me not to ask any questions, or me and all
of the bits will be sleeping with the fishes.

Count the number of broken pieces to determine the number of bits.

In your case, it's really easy. Just count the number of pieces
Vito gave you. ;-)

Hello all,

I will be posting this on several threads; however to tell if you have a
64-bit vs. a 32-bit computer, just run the System Information tool. (type
winmsd at in the Run box) If you have a 32-bit system, the "System Type"
listed should be something like"X86-based PC". If you have a 64-bit
system, you will see an entry stating something like "Itanium (TM) - based
PC". In addition, when looking at the processor(s) on the computer, a
32-bit system should start with x86 and a 64-bit will start with ia64.
(didn't check an AMD or other processors to see if they show different)

I also noticed that on the Windows 2003 Server I tested, that the winver
tool showed in the artwork that the OS was built for 64-bit hardware.
(don't remember the exact wording)
