Is my processor 64bit ?

My servers profile:
OS Name Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Standard Edition
Version 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1 Build 3790
System Manufacturer Compaq
System Model ProLiant ML370 G3
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2387 Mhz
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2387 Mhz
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2387 Mhz
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2387 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date Compaq P28, 8/16/2002The processors are Intel XOEN 2.40GHz and I thought all XOEN where x64 but the system type is currently x86? If I'd used a 64 bit OS would that change the System type?
I'm listening but I only speak GEEK.

A 2002 XEON is p4 based and AFAIK no p4 based CPUs that old had 64 bit support. AMD was first out the gate with a 64bit x86 chip, and IIRC the a64 dates to 03 or 04. Xeon's are no more a single CPU type than celerons are, they're just intels fastest design using a different socket and typically with more on board cache. you can check your cpu using CPU-z. IIRC for an intel CPU, 64bit support is indicated by EMT64 instruction support but I don't have a machine to test until I get home from work. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php[^]
-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
