Yes
Hi All,
Above I have posted my system config. I would like to know if the processor and the maiboard on this Dell model is really 64 bit? If yes, then can I install a 64 bit OS on it? and why did Dell not install 64 bit in the first place?
Thanks to all in advance.

Yes it is and yes you can install the 64 bit OS.
Some individuals have older hardware and software that is some what problematic with the 64 bit OS unless you have the correct drivers for them, and many more tech support calls as a result. The 32 bit OS is more matured and wide spreed. Most do not need the 64 bit OS.
Just make sure you have the more current software and have the correct 64 bit drivers for printers or other hardware that you connect to the system.
Good luck
