Sorry Keith, but no, it's definitely a 64 bit machine, I checked at a very early stage. Besides, if it was only a 32 bit machine surely the 64 bit distros wouldn't have run in live mode from USB stick?
One small detail I didn't mention in my original post is that when this machine first came into my possession I found it had already got a 32 bit version of Linux Mint installed. Initially I thought this was a bit strange, but now I'm thinking the previous owner probably had the same problems.
Thanks
