Accoring to the description I found on the product website, I have a
1.73 GHz Intel® Centrino™ Mobile Technology featuring Intel®
Pentium® M Processor 740 processor. Is this 32 bit or 64 bit?

The datasheet above says IA32, so your processor is a 32 bit processor.

If I look at a Core2 Duo and its characteristics, it lists
"Intel EM64T", which is what you'd want for a 64 bit instruction
set. This is a datasheet for a Core2 Duo.

"Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) — An enhancement
to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing the processor to execute
operating systems and applications written to take advantage of
Intel EM64T. Further details on EM64T architecture and programming
model can be found in the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology
