    Is it 32 or 64 bit?
    What's the difference between the two?

    Thanks!

    the difference is in the arcitechture. i think. also w/ 32 bit you can only use up to 3.2gb(?) ram total, even if you have 4gb. w/ 64 you can use all 4gb's.

    Yes to your first question. Here is the page at Microsoft.com that describes it.

    32 bits to your second question. ;)
