Guest Avatar Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 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 Avatar -------
