While your processor is 64-bit capable, it is able to run either a 64-bit or 32-bit operating system. Right-click on Computer and select properties, it will tell you in there.

Sounds like you have 32-bit. If you want to run 64-bit you will need to perform a fresh install with a 64-bit disc and license.
