How do I know if my system is 32-bit or 64-bit?
This question pops up quite a lot in online forums nowadays. Before I could quite honestly tell somebody if you need to ask, you have 32-bit. That's not true anymore, you can buy machines with 4GB of RAM in them, and increasingly they are being loaded with 64-bit Windows Vista, so the system can make use of all the memory.
You can find out by going to Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System.
Alternatively you can search for System on Start Search, the search will return a few results, but one should just be the word System, with a computer icon next to it with a white tick on a blue monitor. That's the one you're after.
Clicking on that will launch the following.

System type displays if the system is 32-bit (often referred to as x86) or 64-bit (also known as x64 or x86-64).
