create a report of windows computers that are running 64 bit OS

I am trying to find a list of computers that are running 64 bit versions of Windows. Is there a way to create a list quickly for computers in a subnet or domain?

If I use a login script would I just have the result written to a shared location, or is there a better mechanism to collect the results?
A login/start script will have to write the data to a common shared location accessible by everyone and everyone having full/modify rights.

The systeminfo route does. I think there is a way using wmic to query each host for their architecture type.

Thanks,

i actually found another way as well, using a tool that I alread have installed. I use spiceworks for inventory purposes, and found that it could run a report based installed services. The service PerfHost seems to only be installed on 64 bit systems, so I was able to pull up a report that way.

Thanks for all the help, I will be looking at those links.
