    What OS?

    uname -a for Linux

    Windows usually right click My Computer and Properties.

    Just checked the Skype download page and the Windows version requires:
    'PC running Windows® 2000, XP, Vista or 7. (Windows 2000 users require DirectX 9.0 for video calls).
    No distinction for 32 or 64 bit versions of Windows that I can see.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
