    It's 32 from what I heard. But you can install the 64-bit one and use the 32-bit licence.

    Well, you can install Windows 64-bit on your Qosmio with a disc from a friend or just download it from the net. To activate your new copy of Windows, you just need to enter the key what's on your notebook's back. That's all.
