32 or 64 bit?

[Danielle]

Ok, I need to download the patch to block the worm, but I
don't know how to figure out whether I've got 32 bit or
64 bit XP. How can I find out?? Please help!!!

If you have to ask, you want the 32 bit.

Make certain you've removed the worm before installing the patch, Danielle.

Danielle,

XP Pro comes in 32 bit and 64 bit, but unless you can afford an Itanium
processor in your system, you have the 32 bit version.

The Itanium processor is Intel/HP's 64-bit server class CPU.
It's not used in desktop machines. (Not used in very many servers, either
So ... you have a 32-bit machine (a Pentium).

I have the same problem. According to the Microsoft

Knowledge Database there are 3 flavors or versions of
Windows XP: Windows XP Home, Professional, and Windows
XP 64 bit.

The 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP have
different random access memory (RAM) limits than the 32-
bit versions. Windows XP Professional for 64-bit
platforms supports 16 GB of memory.

Also, there is a difference in the Architectural
components: 64-bit Windows 32-bit Windows
Virtual memory = 16 terabytes 4 GB
