Is my processor 64- or 32-bit compatible?

[bronzelightning]

is this processor: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor ADX640WFGMBOX 64-bit or 32-bit compatible? or is it both?
i've been googling various things with no luck, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

It supports both x86(aka 32 bit) and x86-64(aka 64 bit) so it will work with a 32bit or a 64 bit OS, but unless you have old devices that do not have 64 bit drivers that you cant live without i suggest going for a 64 bit OS.

64 bit ... And yes you can run 32bit on a 64bit .. But you can't run 64 on a 32 .. Hope that helps
