I have a quick question.
The board and CPU that I'm using in one of my machines was given
to me. I didn't take the time to look up the info on the board or
anything. I was busy, so I just put the board in a pc case, hooked
everything up, and loaded the os on the machine.
I didn't know it at the time, but there's a chance it may be a
64bit board and cpu. I don't want to pull the machine out of the desk,
and open it up to find out. Is there a command entered by way of the
terminal window that will tell me what kind of cpu I have? I want to say
that it's an AMD sempron 3000+, but I'm not sure.
Thanks
Jim

While I'm on the subject, I have a 64bit board that I haven't installed in a case yet. Plus I still need to get a cpu for it. My question is, would I really gain anything right now by going to a 64bit machine? Sure I know I would if I was doing graphics and multimedia, but I'm just doing record keeping,plus the other regular computer stuff, finances and email, and so on.

That depends on the type of CPU socket is on the motherboard and sometimes the BIOS revision. When the machine boots up and displays the bios screen it should display a longish line of letters and text at the bottom or top of the screen, (in between the memory / hard drive info). Make a note of it and do a Google search on it will give you the motherboards manufacturer and bios revision. If the board is out of a HP, Del or other branded manufacturer then you can use software to interrogate the motherboard and bios to get this info. I don't know of any Linux commands to do this though. -- Guy Fawkes, the only man to enter the house's of Parliament with honest intentions, (he was going to blow them up!)

The script is not mine, but was posted on this site 6 months or so ago. Greg #!/bin/bash echo -n "Running " RES=`uname -a | grep 64` if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo -n "64-bit " else echo -n "32-bit " fi echo -n "operating system on a " RES=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep " lm "` if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo -n "64-bit " else echo -n "32-bit " fi echo "machine"
