i built a computer out of thrift store salvaged parts. how do I tell if it is a 32 or 64 bit system. specs: 100GB hard drive, 512 mb shared RAM , socket 462 Athalon 1.6 Ghz processor, 32 bit video shared w/ ram (integrated) and integrated sound.

Yeah, the couple of these people above me that have said that it's definitely not 64-bit are right. No Socket A (462) processor had 64-bit capabilities. AMD started that with the Athlon 64's, which was 1 generation after your processor.
Next year, though, you'll be able to build yourself another thrift store salvaged computer with an Athlon 64 processor, and a DVD burner.

if you got it out of a thrift store...32 bit. no one in their right mind would send a 64 bit to the grave
start> right click on my computer>properties

seems for the *maximum* section fantastic. few issues although a million. have self belief me in this, improve your processor. get the perfect processer you could arise with the money for, highly for crysis. i like AMD yet my computing device it really is a Sager 2090 has a better suited Santa Rosa Intel proccessor than what you chosen, and probable couldn't run crysis, depending of CPU on my own. 2. it wouldnt harm to get a better suited HDD on your computing device, in reality get a second one. both a 10000rpm 15000rpm one. Raptor / Fujitsu Run your OS of this one and keep the 500gb for storage. 3. in case you opt for the total result you could choose 2 8800GM playing cards. the motherboard has an sli chipset, use it. even once you could keep up better funds and wait somewhat. it's going to be extremely genuinely worth the wait.

integrated video? You sure spared on expenses, didn't you?
If you don't know, it's 32 bit. If you install 64 bit system, it will not work..

If you're running windows you should be able to right click on 'my computer' go to the general tab and look for info about your CPU.
If you're running linux you can run the command 'cat \proc\cpuinfo'

i do believe the right click on my computer then properties will tell u , i think the AMD is 64bit, cause mine is intel and it is 32 bit.

Look at the CPU ID and look up the specs on it
