    All Core 2 Duo cpus are based on Merom. You can use a utility like CPU-Z( http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) which will list the specs on the cpu, memory etc..

    Merom is 32/64 bit capable.

    but I read ssomewhere on the forum saying that not all core 2 duo is meron, or 64 bit.

    I guess I'm wrong.

    Meron is 64bit native ? or it's only support 64bit ?
    I can;t find any intel site explaining this in detail.

    only meron from intel chip is 64bit right ? so far ...

    AMD has had 64bit chips for a few years now. Pretty much everyting with 64 at the end of the name is 64bit.
    and Yes it is native.

    Just for the record, since all these people are too nice to correct colica, it's Merom.

    Meron sounds like a wine, or "moron" spelled with an 'e', or something...
