[EdLUG] How to tell if a computer is 32 bit or 64 bit

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

Hi,

I was just given a notebook and am trying to tell if it is 32 bit or 64
bit.  It is a hp elitebook 6930p running Microsoft Windows 7.  Here is the
manual:

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/manualsResults/?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_e97ce00a6f76436cc859bfdeb053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3Daction%253Dmanualslist%257Ccontentid%253DHardware-Reference%257Clang%253Den&javax.portlet.tpst=e97ce00a6f76436cc859bfdeb053ce01&sp4ts.oid=3688868&ac.admitted=1469773060453.1123376534.199480143

The ROM date in the bios is 9/11/2009, which I am thinking is rather early
for 64 bit.  It is an Intel Core2 Duo 8700 chip.  I am getting ready to
install GNU-Linux, and I want to use Lubuntu if it is a 32 bit machine, but
Ubuntu if it is a 64 bit machine.  Thanks for helping me to figure this
out!
