Can anyone please tell me the differences between xp 64
bit and xp 32 bit

Primarily they are just what they say they are, different versions designed
to be run on 32-bit and 64-bit processors. If you're wondering which you've
got, then you've got 32-bit.

64-bit Windows will only run on a specific subset of expensive, high-end
processors. If you had a machine based around one of those then you would
know about it.
 
- HOME is 32-bit only.
- PRO can be 32 or 64 bit, but the 64 bit can only run on
SPECIAL hardware.
- The 64 bit version of PRO says "64 bit edition."
- You would have paid much more for 64 bit XP.
- You cannot pick up 64 bit in ANY store.
- 64 bit does not run on Pentium-Anything
- 64 bit does not run on Athlon-anything.
- 64 bit does not run on Celeron-anything
- 64 bit does not run on Duron-anything
- 64 bit does not run on Palm
- 64 bit does not run on 486.
- 64 bit does not run on Macintosh.
- 64 bit does not run on Commodore 64.
- 64 bit does not run on whatever Via's former Cyrex chip
is called this week.
- 64 bit does not run on HP Pavilions
- 64 bit does not run on Sony Vaios
- 64 bit does not run on Gateway home computers.
- 64 bit does not run on Alienware.
- 64 bit does not run on Falcon Northwest.
- 64 bit does not run on Compaq Presarios
- 64 bit does not run on any system you can buy at Wal-
Mart, Best Buy, Fred Meyer, CompUSA, or any other
computer superstore, retailer, or shopping
club.
- 64 bit COSTS ENOUGH AND MAKES YOU GO THROUGH ENOUGH TO
GET IT THAT YOU
FRIGGIN' KNOW IF YOU HAVE IT!
- IF YOU HAD A 64 BIT VERSION YOU WOULD KNOW BECAUSE OF
ALL THE MONEY YOU SPENT ON IT

- 64 Bit runs Itanium processors and cost over $3000 (so
ive heard) just for the computer.

You have the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version is for 64-bit hardware
- mainly the Intel Itanium processor at this point - that is expensive
and rare, especially in home systems. XP Home exists *only* in the
32-bit version.
