It might still depend on CPU. AFAIK, Core 2, inluding Socket P, were 64-bit, though mostly they shipped with a 32-bit OS. There were also older CPU's shipped with that Socket, but even so, some of them are still 64-bit, IIRC.
To be sure, you can check the CPU flags:
In Windows, you can use the
CPU-Z utility to determine your CPU architecture. In the linked example, look at the
Instructions line, where you'll see the flag
EM64T - that means it's capable of 64-bit addressing.
In Linux, open a terminal, copy and paste the following line to the command line and execute (press Enter). You'll get a printout of all the flags per core (they should be identical) - you're looking for the flag
em64t or
lm:
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e flags -e "model name" | uniq
Edit: Updated that flag - can be different in Linux! LM literally means "long mode".
