Actually, msinfo32 will not accurately tell you what kind of cpu you
have. It will tell you in what "mode" your cpu is running, based off
the OS.
For example:
msinfo32 reports "Processor x86 Family 15 Model 35 Stepping 2
AuthenticAMD ~2611 Mhz"
I have an AMD Athlon64 FX-60.
Everest Ultimate edition on the other hand will tell you EXACTLY what
the cpu is.
For example:
Everest reports "CPU Type DualCore AMD Athlon 64 FX-60, 2612 MHz (13 x
200.9)"
Instruction Set x86, x86-64, MMX, 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3
Plus, Everest will give you more details about your processor than you
may even understand.
If you want a quick way to find out exactly what you have in your
system, or any system at all, download everest ultimate edition from
http://www.lavalys.com.
Extract the zip file or run the installer, then copy the everest
folder onto a usb stick. Now you can just simply plug in the usb
stick, launch everest and get any information you need.

Hi,
How can one find out theoperatingsystemtype installed (x86/x64/
ia64) ?
I found an old post:http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript/br...
The above mentioned post describes a way using WMI query on the
Win32_Processor class. Here you need to parse through the output of
the "Description" field of each instance of the Win32_Processor class.
This does not seem to be a very elegant method especially considering
the fact that OS bit-ness is anoperatingsystemproperty and not that
of the processor.
Is there any method by which I can get the bit-ness of theoperatingsysteminstalled. For ex: On an x64 based hardware installed with x86windowsoperatingsystemI get "x86" or "32".
Regards,
Kiran
