how to identify a 64 bit computer?

[Richmond]

 After the thread about 64-bit machines running Windows I started wondering
about 64-bits machines in general, or, as the much over-used-and-abused 
phrase

goes cross-platform.

In the light of answers to the earlier thread I take it RunRev has no 
internal way

of detecting whether a processor is 32 or 64 bit rather in the way

systemVersion

returns details about the OS.

HOWEVER . . . I wonder about something like this:

put the processor

surely that should tell one enough to work out if it is a 32 or 64 bit 
system ?


HOWEVER . . . when I do this on my HP Pentium 4 running Ubuntu 10.10 Beta
all I get is

unknown

about as useful as a poke in the face with a sharp stick . . .  :(

BUT . . . that is (take note RunRev folks)  PROCESSOR is NOT supported 
in the

Linux version of RunRev . . . 4.5 . . . cough, cough, cough . . . please?

sincerely, Richmond.

 Hey, look, I'm replying to my own posting again . . .  :)

snip

put the processor

snip

noted that in the Documentation (4.0 / 4.5-dp 4) that there is no
mention of what is returned if a Macintosh Intel processor is running
the computer .
.
  out
of
date
a
   bit . . . . . .

come on. someone who is running a Mac Intel (there were lots of you at
the Edinburgh conference) do a

put the processor

and pop it in the user notes, Please!

sincerely, Richmond.
