Dig it: 64-bit. Whenever I've installed any OS, I never got the choice. After I heard from Nik or whoever that it looked to be 64-bit, I tried some 64-bit installation discs, but of course get the error message "wrong architecture".

Intel's site confirms: this is a 64-bit chip, although it's a fairly old one (launched 2007).
