I would like to know which component of PC determines if it is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Also, how can I find bit size of my PC which runs Windows 7.

Hi. 32 or 64-bit depends on the processor.
In Control Panel, go to System->About. There you can find info on OS and CPU bit type. This is very basic question, just a google search away. I encourage you to read Wiki. You asked only for theoretical purpose or you are doing activity which needs these information?
