32 bit? 64 bit?

[ANSWER!]

This follwing helpful info was sent to me by this
Balberith fellow. Microsoft should send him a paycheck
since he's the only one on the planet offering useful
information on this topic today.

His words of wisdom:
"There's no obvious indicator for you to see (32 bit vs.
64 bit), so just trust us - if you have to ask the
question, then you are running the 32-bit version.
Especially if you are running XP Home, which is only
available in the 32-bit flavour.

The 64-bit version only runs on a very specific subset of
expensive,high-end machines. If you'd spent out on one of
those then you would know about it."

So, we're not idiots after all, this information was
never provided. Good luck!

when you you ppl learn. if no one read the 500 posts about 32 v. 64bit why
the hell are they going to read this giving them the answer? Stop wasting
your time and just answer their question or dont.

Where are all of these idiots coming from?
It's bad enough people don't bother to READ the several hundred other
posts with the same question that have been answered, then the
clueless A-holes say no one is answering them?
What planet did this jerk beam down from?

I do absolutely agree. It is a shame that people who buy a computer, who
don't know anything about them, won't go to a bookstore and buy a decent
book on basic computers or attend an introduction to computers at a local
community college. They certainly spend a lot of money for a very heavy
paperweight.
