Please note for anyone doing compilations the flags data listed is
really useful as sometimes builds are configured for the original
designers machine and may compile in things that your cpu cant handle -
and that can be a real bugger to debug...

Right. Here is the output

processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 23
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz

Yep that's 64-Bit, a desktop CPU...

Is that useful?

If you want to know if your desktop is 64-Bit capable then yes, if you want to know if the laptop is 64-Bit capable, not really useful unless you re-run the command on the laptop on a Linux Live CD.
