how to find out if my cpu supports 64-bit?

I have a quad core xeon I am leasing from The Planet and I've been wondering I could run a 64-bit VM on it. I have a feeling it's just a 32-bit cpu though, but is there a way I can find out for sure?

This is one of the cores if it helps:

There's no indication that it's 64-bits, but you can certainly look them up on either AMD or Intel's site.
