I believed we had already got most information on the
CPU, but here goes.
inxi -C
CPU: Topology: Dual Core model: Intel Pentium Dual E2200 bits: 64 type: MCP L2
cache: 1024 KiB
Speed: 1300 MHz min/max: 1200/2200 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 1791 2: 2098
Clearly it's a 64 bit:

Have you tried clearing CMOS, or upgrading BIOS? There is such a thing
as BIOS corruption, which clearing might help. Rather than a quick clear,
I'd take the 2032 battery out overnight with the PS unplugged, then do
the jumper clear after putting the battery back in
That CPU will work in a lot of newer motherboards that would provide a
graphics upgrade from 950 to something better. If looking, try for a
G41 or G45 chipset board. Lesser chipsets better than 945G include 965G,
G31 & G33. Some G41 boards use DDR3 or DDR3+DDR2 RAM, while all earlier
Socket LGA775 are DDR2. If you are using a PCIe graphics card, then P
models instead of G would also suffice.
