How to check if CPU is 32-bit or 64-bit

[Guest Avatar]

Is there a utility that can check whether the CPU in any PC is 32-bit or

64-bit capable?

AMD labels its CPUs as 64 (almost all they make) but one has to delve into

specs for an Intel CPU to check whether it is 64-bit capable.

Many of the newer Intel CPUs are 64-bit but there is nothing in the name or

quick-specs that identifies it as so.

TIA

Use the chart found below - check the Intel 64 Column:
