Windows xp home edition 32vs 64 bit

[Guest]

How does one tell if the edition is a 32 or 64 bit? I'm
trying to install the blaster patch and they ask that
question. I'm lost

Windows XP Home Edition is only available as a 32-bit version

If you have to ask, you're almost definitely 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 64-bit version of WinXP Pro.)
There is no 64-bit version of WinXP Home.

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," then you have a
32-bit OS.
