All the answers given in this thread will give you the architecture of the *installed* or *running* (if LiveCD) OS. To see the actual PC architecture, issue this command: lshw -C cpu And even shorter: lshw -C cpu | grep width Cheers, Fabian Rodriguez http://trisquel.magicfab.ca -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: PGP/Mime available upon request Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlAgQwgACgkQfUcTXFrypNXCNACgtzQ/eK+zcXXRn6VdSIeCQre+ s8kAn1KB+h3Efu9xqS4pMgnDnAaS4yms =qa0+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
