it is a 64bit processor right? cuz wen i was looking thru these steps:

1. From the Start menu select "My Computer"
2. From the "My Computer" window select "View system information"
3. From the "System Properties" window select the "Advanced" tab
4. From the "Advanced" tab click the "Environment Variables" button
5. Look through the "System variables" list for a variable called "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE". If this PC has a 32-bit processor this variable will have a value of "x86". If it has a 64-bit processor this variable will have a value of "x64".

and it says that it is x86...whts with that? i mean there IS an edit button and i could just edit it...but why isnt it x64 to begin w/ thanks
 
the CPU is 64 bit, yes, but if you've only got a 32-bit version of windows installed... ell you do the logic...

I am in the same situation

Just to re-state what dragon said, the E6600 is 64-bit, but unless you have a 64-Bit OS, it will run and be recognized like a 32-Bit CPU by the OS.
