I was wondering how do you determine whether your xp is a 32 or 64 bit edition?

If you have to ask then it's 32 bit. 
XP 64 Bit version runs on very expensive equipment.

If you have to ask, and you purchased it yourself, it is very likely the 32
bit version. The 64 bit version costs BIG bucks.
However, you can click on the General tab of System Properties. If it is the
64 bit version, it will say so.

You have the 32 bit version.
Windows XP Home = 32 bit.
Windows XP Pro = 32 bit.
Windows XP Media Center Edition = 32 bit
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition = 32 bit
Windows XP 64 bit Edition = 64 bit.
Start, run, type in: winver, hit enter.
Windows XP Home = 32 bit.
Windows XP Pro = 32 bit.
Windows XP Media Center Edition = 32 bit
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition = 32 bit
Windows XP 64 bit Edition = 64 bit.
Start, run, type in: winver, hit enter.

Almost certainly you have the 32-bit edition. Almost anybody who
has to ask the question is running the 32-bit version. The 64-bit
version requires special hardware. It and the hardware have come
down in price, but are still substantially more expensive than
the standard consumer PCs you see around. Very few home users are
using it., and almost nobody would buy it without realizing it.
But if you want to check to be sure, enter WINVER at the Start |
Run line.

Most windows is 32-bit edition
Itanium and Itanium 2 (EPIC) runs 64-bit Windows but Itaniums systems are very expensive and will not run regular consumer x86 software. There are some workstation but runs from $4,000+ before monitor is added
Athlon64 is x86-64bit. most of the systems loaded with 32-bit x86 version of Windows. If you have MSDN you download you can upgrade it to 64-bit beta version. Microsoft has slanted for mid-2004 release. Or you can get SuSE which is 64-bit now, RedHat should have one, several of the Linux Version are in testing phase or has release a 64-bit version of their operating system. Athlon64 systems start around $900 before monitor is added. I know some people that have bought the Athlon64 systems and use it as a Media Center to control everything dealing with media, excellent for video editing, super on gaming and programming
