32bit / 64bit issue with x86 solaris

i have solaris 10 x86 64bit installed on my pc (dell 3100). i then decided to move my hard drive to another pc (dell 4600). I noticed that each time i boot up, the OS show as 32 bit (instead of 64bit) and i can't even get past this stage to the login page.
when i moved it back to dell 3100 it work just fine.
pls can anyone help.
