Default x86 or x64?
Hi

I have an intel pentium D820 Dual core processor
Can someone tell me or tell me how to find out if its 32bit (x86) or a 64bit (x64) processor as im thinking of getting the windows vista home premium 64bit version for my computer.

Any replies much appreciated

64 will work fine but there have been a lot of problems reported about the 64 bit version. Maybe wait a bit longer until they get ironed out a bit more.
