I hate to butt in on someone else's thread, but I just want to confirm this myself, because I'm not entirely sure I believe it yet.
Using what's said here in
this thread, I thought I'd check my CPU architecture, and if it was really a 64-bit processor in disguise - it's not a recent one, so I wasn't expecting it to.
Anyway, if I interpret the following terminal output correctly... I have a 64-bit capable CPU, right?
Terminal output:

I spotted the conspicuous
lm flag listed, which as I understand it is a sure way to tell, right?
If this is correct... then I feel kinda stupid for running 32bit systems when I could have been running a 64bit one.
