Click Start, type system in the Start Search box, and then click system in the Programs list.

Look under system type.

Go to the Welcome Center
In the top right, chose "Show More Details"

64 bit should look like:



(and before it gets said, look, I've only seen 5.9's across the boards on the QX9650 boxes, so 5.5 in a RAID 4TB setup isn't bad)

Just so you know, as an FYI, you can order 64 bit media from MS for a very small fee (like $10) as your same product key you use for 32 bit is valid as a 64bit product key, and can be activated. Just an FYI.

Right now, though, most things have performance issues in 64bit Vista, and Vista is always a step slower then 32bit (due to drivers and WOW management for 32bit apps)
