OS? The machine currently has just a gig of RAM but I'm going to add
more, soon. The machine runs headless and has no xorg, installed.
A pointer to an article that discusses the 32 bit v 64 bit question
would be appreciated as well.

it's more important to know the CPU inside the machine, by model number
instead of the model of the outer case.
If windows is still on it, run the cpu identification utility from
intel, IF it's an intel cpu. The id utility will tell you if it's
64-bit capable.
Using Dell's service tag and looking at warranty/original system config
might be a good resource too.
Good luck.
