AMD's 64-bit processors support 32-bit versions of WinXP.

How do I find out if my Windows XP Home Edition OS is 32- or 64-bit? I'm
want to download a fix from Intel, but I don't know which one to choose.

If you have Windows XP Home Edition - you have Windows XP 32-bit.
Done.

There are no 64-bit versions of WinXP Home, WinXP TabletPC, or WinXP MCE.

If you have to ask, you're almost certainly running the 32-bit
version of WinXP Pro. 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 original 64-bit version of WinXP Pro,
or whether or not you purchased a computer with an AMD Athlon64 or Intel
EM64T CPU. Also, because WinXPx64 is available only as an OEM license,
it doesn't come in a box.

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" or "Windows XP Professional
x64 Edition," then you have a 32-bit OS.

HP Home only came in 32-bit.

If you have to ask, you have 32-bit.

If you had a 64-bit version, you would have noticed the extra care you took
when ordering the system, and the extra hundreds or thousands of dollars it
cost you so that you could get it to perform a specific task. And you'd
have noticed that you could only use a limited amout of hardware.
