32 bit, it is doubtful anybody on this list has a true 64 bit
processor.

Hi,
ALL x86 Intel CPU's since the 386 have been 32 bit (the 8088, 8086 and 286
were 16 bit). This includes all varieties of the pentium (Classic, MMX, Pro,
and II). Since the AMD 5x86 is a 486 class CPU, it is also 32 bit.
Examples of 64 bit CPUs are the Alpha, or the yet-to-be-released Intel
Merced.
HTH,
Peter Hogan
