how do i find out if my cpu is 64bit or not

how do i find out if my cpu is 64bit or not, well eny ideas?

 

PC Wizard 2006 will tell you what the processor is. From there, it should be easy to find out.

If you don't know the processor, then look it up using that, or CPUZ. If you do, then tell us and we can tell you.

 

where about in that program does it say 64 bit or 32 bit
thanx

 

Click on the processor button and post what it says. We'll be able to tell you what it is.

 

Yeah CPU-Z will be able to tell you everything about your processor,it's frequency,motherboard,memory and whether it is 64 or 32 bit.

Here's a link where you can get that program.It's a freeware and easy to use and understand.

A D series is 64-bit. The "Yes" for x86-64 and EM64T is the giveaway.

 

how much better will it run if i buy windows 64 bit

 

You can get a 120 day free trial from Microsoft.

You can also order the CD at a small fee. There is a link to the CD request form at the same link as above.

 

If I were you I wouldn't, most 64-bit supporting software isn't out yet, you'll have a real nightmare of a time finding the drivers for all your hardware and running the applications you want. It should in theory run worse not better, a friend of mine uses it and wishes he didn't. Until Vista, people just aren't ready for 64-bit operation.

 

i think i might try it i can alway reinstall my old windows

 

Fair enough. Unless you know one of the applications you often use works well in 64-bit I don't really see much of a point though!

 

i c but wont windows apps run fast with it like IE

 

I don't recall that being the case. It'd be good if it did, but I don't hear many stores of things like that happening

 

nice one i just found out that u can download firefox in 64 bit
