So what bit am I running on ? and How does it matter?
You are running in 64 bit mode.

Basically it means that a single process can address more than 4Gig of memory, that's it really.

If you have less than 4 gig of swap then being 64 bit does not buy you much except that, say, JVM is designed for a 64 bit architecture.
