Is my processor 64-bit?

Hi people its been a while since i've played around with my PC etc and lost touch a bit!

At the minute I have Windows XP Home - 32bit version on there but I've got a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium coming tomorrow and was wondering if I could use 64 bit on my set up as below:-

CPU:
Name Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Codename Conroe
Specification Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
Package (platform ID) Socket 775 LGA (0x0)

Motherboard:
Mainboard Model AB9 QuadGT(Intel965+ICH8)

Any feedback will be good!

Thanks!

Ahhh right good stuff! Will I see any benefits over the 32 bit version?

Thanks a lot for your input! I'll install it tomorrow and see how it goes!

Well at the minute I've got 3GB of Ram, i'll see how that goes and if needs be i'll upgrade to 4GB or something along those lines?

yeph your chip does support 64bit, how much ram do you have i would recommend at least 4gb

See post above ^^
