Intel Core Duo is NOT 64bit (though I'm not sure if it has the fake EM64T thing). Core 2 Duo are full 64bit, the first true 64bit mainstream by Intel.

u may use a small tool called CPUz ...

unzip and run... see whats ur processor make a model... CPUz may also indicate whethers it has EM64t support or not...

in other case just confirm the model number from Intel WebSite of post the CPUz data here in the forum...

x86 or 32bit and x64 or 64bit are architecture of Processor...
