Not sure... The home version gives saved benchmarks, and the ones for a fee benchmark your system and compare it to others.
But it does show your the manu specs and your actual running specs of PC, which will specify what yours is clocked at, detailed to the components of mobo and ram.
Check it out and see if it has anything of use in it, it is free and easy to unistall if you do not like it...
That 533 means it's a Northwood B. Definately not 64-bit capable. Any Intel chip more than a year old is not going to be 64-bit capable. (Well, other than Itanic...)
Since this has 1MB of L2 cache it isn't a Northwood. It is a Prescott, however it is one of those processor from the wafer that didn't meet the minimum requirements to be a 520. Instead it had HT disabled and was given a 533MHz FSB instead of a 800MHz FSB and sold very cheap. They're very popular for cheap, low-end computers.
No this is not 64-bit compatible.
If you want a cheap Intel that's 64-bit capable, you should look at the Celeron D's that end with 3x1 or 3x6.
