How do I tell if my Mobo supports 64bit processing

with the talk of Windows 7 due to be released mid to late 2009, and that systems will be 64-bit based from there on, I know my processor is 64-bit architecture, thanks to Intels Processor ID utility, but how can I find out what my motherboard is?
I am currently using Xp Home, which is 32-bit.

"Intel(R) 64 Architecture
64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel(R) 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. "

I'm Not ready to run out & buy a new system, so an O/S upgrade would be cheaper?

Your motherboard does not strictly speaking supports 32 or 64 bit, it supports only the CPU. If the board fully supports the CPU & your CPU is capable of running in 64 bit I think its the end of the story.

 

Hi rsinfo
Thanks for the reply, I've been searching through gigabytes site but not a lot of info there or elsewhere when it comes down to 64-bit compatability?
Cheers
