Hi.
I have a few years old Pentium 4 machine, but I don't know if it can do
64-bit. Is there a way to check without installing and running the
installed OS? Can I use a LiveCD (which one?), look in BIOS/CMOS
(didn't see anything to mention it), etc.?
Thank you in advance.

Go to www.cpuid.com and download CPU-Z, latest version 1.44.
When you run it check 'Instructions' on the CPU tab. If EM64T
is listed, it's a 64 bit CPU. |

Um, I would have to install Windows to use it. I said "Is there a way to

There is a five digit code on top of the chip that begins with SL. What is

Oh, I forgot to say without opening up the case earlier. I guess that
would work. Do I just Google that serial number/code to get the answer?

Place your SL code in the sSpec search box. This should get you to what
you're looking for. >> Stay informed about: Is there a way to tell if an Intel CPU can do 64-bit or not? |

You can always download one of the 32-bit Linux live-cd's, such as
Ubuntu. Once you boot up into the cd, then all you would have to do is
run the command "more /proc/cpuinfo" at a command prompt. It should show
as one of its flags that either EM64T or AMD64 or x86-64 or x64 or
something like that is supported. I would assume it's most likely going
to be called x86-64 under Linux.

Thanks, that will work for my scenario. I just didn't want to tamper
with installation and the HDD.

Boot up your favorite Linux live CD, log in, and type this:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
The "flags" line will list everything that your processor supports.
A simpler go/no-go test would be to make sure it's an AMD64 live CD instead
of an x86 live CD...either it'll boot or it won't.

Tell us specifically which version/model of P4 CPU you have and we'll tell
you if it is 64 bit.

I forgot to mention that I do not want to open the computer case. So I
don't know which P4 it is.
