System.Console.WriteLine(int.MaxValue);

This line gives me the answer of 2,147,483,647 as I have a 32-bit PC.

Will the answer be same on a 64-bit PC?

Yes, the answer will be the same on a 64-bit machine.

In .NET, an int is a signed 32-bit integer, regardless of the processor. Its .NET framework type is System.Int32.

The C# Language specification states:

The int type represents signed 32-bit integers with values between –2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.
