I just purchased this processor, and the page doesn't specifically say that it is 64 bit, but Newegg has the same CPU and says it is "64 bit compatible." I haven't shopped for CPUs for a long time, but I believe this is a 64 bit model, correct? I am assuming they don't make them in 32 bit...

Can someone please verify?

This baby is going to serve as the brain of a litecoin miner; I just need to know what type of OS to buy.

Thanks for the reply.

I am going to pick up a copy of Win 7 for $100 (Now that I know it is 64 bit processor, I will buy the 64 bit OS). I would like to just use Linux, but I am a novice and don't want to mess around with GPU drivers while learning Linux (I know bare, bare minimum to get by in Linux and wish I had the time to waste learning to use it like a pro)
