A quick look at Dells site shows a 1545 with pentium dual core T4300 processor and win 7 64 bit installed so if yours is the same presumably yes. It would have to be a clean install though as you cant upgrade 32 bit OS to 64.

How do you know your setup is a 32 bit?

Go to the "System Information" in Programs and see what it says. More than likely you're already an x64 setup.

If it's a brand new Dell laptop, more than likely it is an x64. Intel hasn't made 32 bit processors in quite a while.
