Best way is probably analyzing the /proc/cpuinfo and google the model
name. Then if it's an Intel and dual core it will be 64 bit anyway.
There have been several dual core 32bit only intel chips. (Although

Thanks.
Yes, it's there. Pasting full output just in case anyone finds any other
observation:
Trying out iso will of course remove the remaining doubts.

There really aren't any, amd64 will work...

That's right! Thanks you saved me a lot of time and frustration by
informing about wine. My 90% usage is mutt, vim, xterm, xpdf, qiv and
firefox where I am unlikely to see any
I am using NetBSD i386 on my desktop. Just want to cross check whether my
processor is 64bit and whether I could use 64 bit system instead of 32
bit.
dmesg describes the processor as follows:
cpu0 at mainbus0 apid 0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz, id 0xf65
cpu1 at mainbus0 apid 1: Intel(R)

The easiest and most reliable thing to is to get an amd64 install image
and to boot the CD and see if it runs. But if EM64T isn't set it almost

worried since wikipedia page below says there are

Another posting suggested sysctl -a | grep 64 but I don't see what
kernel state would help show that from looking at various NetBSD 32 bit
and 64 bit systems.
I was probably misguided by finding these entries in sysctl -a:
