If you get a result from

you're on a 64-bit processor regardless whether it's a 32- or 64-bit OS.
If you want to know if the OS is 64-bit, then a result from
uname -a | grep 64
would indicate a 64-bit OS.
How about just `uname -m`? That will give just the required information
and leave out the rest.
[veejay@marvin ~]$ uname -m
