How can you find out if an install is 32 or 64 bit?

Hi folks. I've got an install of Ubuntu 1o.1o Maverick on my laptop but don't remember if it's a 32 or 64 bit install. Is there an easy way to find out?
'uname -a' returns:
 Linux Anna 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Am I correct in thinking that the i686 indicates it is a 64 bit installation?
Tia, from Alex.
