How do i know if my processor is 32 or 64 bit? I have Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Gz on each of my Dells.
I do already know how to find out of the OS is 32 or 64 bit version (right now i am runing Windows Xp home).
I want to upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit.
Both of my Computers have a max capacity of 4Gb of RAM. I have 2Gb in stalled on each right now.
I want to be able to utlize all of my RAM when i upgrade, i do know that the 32 bit OS will only recongize 3 or 3.5Gb.

The picture shows processor stats-
Lower left is processor type-x32 or x64
Top is manufacturer- Mine's AMD, yours is Intel
Below is name- Phenom x4 means I have a quad-core Phenom processor
EDIT:
He responded while I was typing, and is also completely right.
EDIT:
ABP was blocking pictures from loading, so I couldn't see your picture.

Because currently, i'm using 32 bit OS, but I've technically got 4 GB of ram, and from wat i heard, 32 bit OS only recognise about 2.5 - 3 GB of ram. From the way my system is running, it seems like i've got only 2.5 GB of ram.
Coz yea, i would also like to upgrade to a 64 bit OS in the near future, just for the heck of utilizing the most of my god given ram.
