4 Here is the output of my cpuinfo, I'll point out where it will mean
5 64bit. For the sake of this demonstration, I have only pasted one (1) CPU.
6
7 xaero@Leviathan ~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
8 processor : 0
9 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
10 cpu family : 15
11 model : 75
12 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ <-- Here
13 will be your first indication. 64 bit processors, weather they are
14 SPARC, AMD or intel, must identify themselves clearly in the model name
15 field.
16 stepping : 2
17 cpu MHz : 1000.000 <-- forgive this, my cpu's are idle at the moment
18 and speedstep droped me down for the moment.
19 cache size : 512 KB
20 physical id : 0
21 siblings : 2
22 core id : 0
23 cpu cores : 2 <-- If you are a multi-core CPU, this will tell you how
24 many cores per processor. All cores are identical, so if you have a
25 64-bit Dual/Quad-Core CPU, then all cores are 64bit.
26 fpu : yes
27 fpu_exception : yes
28 cpuid level : 1
29 wp : yes
30 flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
31 pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp
32 lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic
33 cr8_legacy <-- you can look for flags that may give away 64bit, such as
34 lahf_lm, lm and nx.
35 bogomips : 2010.67
36 TLB size : 1024 4K pages
37 clflush size : 64
38 cache_alignment : 64
39 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
40 power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc

43 For reference, this is a good read talking about 64 Bit processors and
44 how to identify them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
