Yes it is 64bit. All new (currently being produced) consumer CPUs you can get have 64bit registers.

It's a yes
Your friend is right, I'm not sure if he was oversimplifing things or not though. They can run 32 or 64bit OS'

this is interesting, officially the core duo do not support Intel x86-64 extensions. However the word is that dispite this lack of official confirmation the 64 bit extension is supported, possible to appease the mac users with mac OX
