How can you tell if your system is 64 bit or 32 bit?

Go to: My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > Processor_Architecture x86 is 32-Bit x64 is 64-Bit On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, right click Computer from the desktop and it will open up a window. In it, it will directly tell what type of computer you have. If you are on a non-Windows machine, open up a terminal, and type: uname -m Any output similar to 'i586' or 'i686' means a 32-bit Operating system. Anything that looks similar to 'x86_64' or 'x64' or 'emt64' means a 64-bit Operating System. All of this refers to the Operating System you are running. However, this does necessarily tell you anything about the Hardware you have. It is entirely possible to run a 32-bit OS on 64-bit Hardware (though, the reverse is not possible).


What is computer architecture and computer organization?

What is architecture?Architecture is the bit of the CPU (Central Processing Unit, or Processor) and/or software. The software can be an Operating System (such as Windows, MAC, or Linux) or even Video Games and other applications.The bit is the amount of data flow that goes through the CPU. Common bits today are 32-bit and 64-bit. If you have a 32-bit CPU, you MUST use a 32-bit OS (Operating System). If you have a 64-bit you can run BOTH 32-bit or 64-bit.What should you chose?If you have a 64-bit CPU, choose 64-bit. It can allocate more RAM (Random Access Memory) and can run both 32-bit and 64-bit software.Seeing x86?That is a 32-bit architecture. Why is it called this? I have no idea.What is a computer organization?When you install an OS, you are asked your name, and organization you work for. It is to register that computer in your name in case anyone needs to find out who it belongs to. If you don't have an organization you can put your address, or leave it blank.
