You have 32 bit. If you had the 64bit you would know it. It only runs on a
Titanium processor which costs around $5,000 US.

Hi Anthony,

Start/run winver

If it is the 64 bit version, this will tell you it is. Very few home users
would have this version, and those who do likely would know that they do.
The 32 bit version is the one commonly found on most home and office
machines. The 64 bit version is made for some very expensive hardware.

With the limited availability of 64 bit hardware, it is a good bet you have
the 32 bit version of XP. Even if you purchased an AMD 64 bit system, it is
very doubtful 64 bit XP is installed as it has not been released to the
public. The Intel based 64 bit systems have a 64 bit version of XP
available, but the AMD 64 bit version is expected to ship in the near
future.

Hi Anthony

From a command prompt type:

systeminfo

Scroll down the resultant list and look for 'System type:'. X-86 based PC is 32-bit.
