Control Panel->System->System Type. Will read 64-bit Operating System if
it's 64-bit.

The answer, for almost everyone who has to ask, is 32-bit.

To be sure, hold down the Windows key and press Pause|Break. If it's
64-bit, it will say so there.

unless, like me, you have an ancient keyboard without the Windows key. :)

And yup, it's a Northgate 102 keyboard that you'll never convince me to go
away from. Heck, I just scored two more of them from a good friend in
Australia. They're probably 15 years old but have never been used. Should
keep me going for a few more years. ;)

Watch what you read in this group then Charlie, you'll risk spilling
coffee on it :)

My twit filter works quite well, thank you. And if I do spill coffee on
them, they completely disassemble completely. ;)
