CPUArch macro is returning wrong processor architecture

[ccarrera74@…]

I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop with a 32 bit processor. This was confirmed by the System Information app in Windows Vista:

System Manufacturer Dell Inc.
System Model Latitude D620
System Type X86-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz, 1667 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. A10, 5/16/2008

When I use the @CPUArch macro, it returns the processor type as X64 instead of X86.

The following one liner can recreate the problem:
MsgBox (1,"", "CPUArch = " & @CPUArch)

You have a 64-bit processor but you have a 32-bit OS. @CPUArch is returning the correct thing.
