Uh, not sure I understood that right (some bios setting I guess?) but you either have or don't have a 64bit cpu. So if you do have one and your pc is running, you or rather "it" is using that 64bit cpu - with all the ups (and downs) that come with that.

Like CS alluded to in his post, Zep, you either have 64bit capabilities or you don't.zeplin05 wrote:no its a registry value HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
If your processor does, it is almost universally an option that is adjusted in System Bios at boot up, not by changing a registry setting.
My personal opinion would be that only bad things could come from trying to circumvent the bios that way and may result in windows not booting at all.
I wouldn't risk it without much more information than just that the name of a registry string.
