All Intel Core i5 processors are 64-bit capable, if I'm reading this wikipedia page correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i5_processors "1st generation ... All models support: ... Intel 64" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_64 "x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) is a 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set"
