However, I just ran lshw and that gives me: product: Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218 vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] physical id: 4 bus info: cpu@0 version: Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218 serial: To Be Filled By O.E.M. slot: CPU 1 size: 2600MHz capacity: 2600MHz width: 64 bits clock: 200MHz capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr _opt rdtscp x86-64 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm cr8_legacy Please have a look at capabilities, where x86-64 is mentioned. Thus right now I would suggest using lshw|grep x86-64. Sorry, that I don't know where it pulls this particular info from.
