Click start, Right click on "My Computer" and Select properties. It will

tell you what version of windows XP you have on General tab.

If you have to ask, then your running the 32-bit version.

If you have to ask, you're almost certainly running the 32-bit

version of WinXP. I'm not trying to be facetious; I'm sure you'd have

noticed paying several thousand dollars more for the Itanium or Itanium

II CPU required to run the original 64-bit version of WinXP Pro, or

whether or not you purchased a computer with an AMD Athlon64 or Intel

EM64T CPU. There are, of course, no 64-bit versions of WinXP Home, WinXP

TabletPC, or WinXP MCE. Also, because WinXPx64 is available only as an

OEM license, it doesn't come in a box.

To verify for yourself, Click Start > Run, type in "Winver" and

press <Enter>. If the resulting dialog box does not _explicitly_ state

that you have "Windows XP 64-Bit Edition" or "Windows XP Professional

x64 Edition," then you have a 32-bit OS.
