But seriously, in future it's easier to just check the spec on the manufacturer's website rather than some random website. Straight from the horse's mouth and all that. :)


Well thats what I thought but when I followed the instructions on the website above every one I tried suggested it wasn't 64 bit. Even when you read what it tells you to look for on CPU-Z it suggests it's 32 bit.

I want to get Windows 7 and had planned to get the 64 bit version so it recognises my 4GB of RAM.

I started looking into it and found this website:

http://www.lytebyte.com/2009/08/04/how-to-check-if-my-processor-is-x86-32-bit-or-x64-64-bit-in-windows/

Everything I tried on there suggested it was 32-bit, but when I ran CPU-Z, it told me my CPU is an AMD Athlon 64. Surely that is 64 bit?
