Lexmark Driver for Windows Vista

I just purchased this computer and it came with a Lexmark 1270 printer,
copier, scanner & fax. After I connected everything I kept getting a
communication error. I went to the Lexmark website and see where they do
have a fix for my problem, but one thing they said I need to know is which
Vista do I have. They have a driver for Windows Vista and one for Windows
Vista (64). How do I know which one I have. I looked on the box the CPU
came in and it says Windows Vista Home Premium. I am using a AMD 64 X 2 4600
processor, does this mean I need to download the Vista 64?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

On the desktop, right-click the Computer icon, select Properties. In
the middle of the window that opens will be the system type (32 or 64
bits).

Thank you Abe.

Having an Athlon 64 CPU, as I have, does not mean that you have to have
a 64 bit VISTA since the CPU handles 32 bit systems just as well, maybe
better!

It's highly unlikely that you have VISTA 64 bit unless it is a very
specialized machine you bought but youve been told how to find out for
sure.

You are lucky not having 64 bit VISTA since there is a shortage of
drivers for hardware .....
