As for 2003 if you can connect any Lexmark printer to it and have it work it's a 32 Bit OS.

The main problem with the 64 Bit versions of Windows is the [b]Total Lack of Available Drivers.[/b] So many plug in bits will not work with the 64 Bit versions of Windows.

Hi Deepak

Right click the my computer and select properties... you can find whether it is a 64 bit or x86

1. Click Start, click Run, type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.

2. In the details pane, locate Processor under Item. Note the value.

? If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.

? If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.

Hope this solves your purpose.

If your system is x64 then it shows on devise manager, x32 normally is not written anywhere, if you are using a normal PC then it is x32, on standard hardware x64 will not work.
