Microsoft đã đặt một mẫu mã cho việc này:
http://1code.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/39074#842775
Nó trông như thế này:
/// <summary>
/// The function determines whether the current operating system is a
/// 64-bit operating system.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>
/// The function returns true if the operating system is 64-bit;
/// otherwise, it returns false.
/// </returns>

{

}
else // 32-bit programs run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
{
// Detect whether the current process is a 32-bit process
// running on a 64-bit system.
bool flag;
return ((DoesWin32MethodExist("kernel32.dll", "IsWow64Process") &&
IsWow64Process(GetCurrentProcess(), out flag)) && flag);
}
}

Cũng có sẵn phiên bản WMI (để thử nghiệm các máy từ xa).
