Alternative Managed API:

To determine whether the OS or Process is x64, using .NET 4, see System.Environment (Is64BitProcess, Is64BitOperatingSystem); http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z8te35sa.aspx

Sample Code:

void Test()

{

    NativeMethods.SYSTEM_INFO
     info;
    NativeMethods.GetSystemInfo(out info);
