Go to a terminal and run the following command:

Code:

uname -a

To expand upon what ozar said, the output of the uname -a command will say something like this if your system is 64-bit:

Code:

Linux 2.6.22     X86_64

And something like this if it's 32-bit:

Code:

Linux 2.6.22     i686

Code:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

Will also give details on the CPU(s) installed.
