I was asking if there was some kind of setup when you installed the
software,
Does it say "do you want to install this as 32 bit or 64 bit?"
Or is it just some kind of boot command like boot -s or pehaps a default set
from the OK prompt?
I am interested because we have some machines loaded with 2.7 and I'd like
to see if the CAD software
makes use of the 64 bit speed.
Also since I don't happen to have any idea - how do you tell what speed a
machine is presently running at?

bad wording on my part. that =
should have read "...64-bit installations can
 only be installed..." rather =
than "...only 64-bit installations...". thanks for
 catching it.
