I'm not even sure they make 32 bit laptops anymore. It's a 64 bit machine (I5 processor).
That's true enough and if the OS came pre-installed it is also probably 64 bit (although you do have a choice). You can also install a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit machine though.
I know because I've done it to install TOAD (no 64 bit version available to me).
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
