Differentiating 64 and 32 bit processor and OS

[Sujalsky]

In my computer properties it says "32-bit Operating Systen, x64-based processor".
SO what does this mean?
Is my CPU 64-bit?
Can I use 64-bit operating system in my CPU?

Thanx for your time.

Yes, it means your CPU is 64 bit which means it can run a 64 bit OS. Pretty much all AMD and Intel chips since about 2006 have been 64 bit.
