I am a new user of Windows XP and wanted to ensure that I
have the correct security patch against the latest virus.

On the Windows website they have a version for XP 64 bit
and XP 32 bit. How do I know which version I have.

I checked the "About Windows XP" on My Computer but it
says nothing about how many bits it is.

Hi

Go for the 32-bit version - you would know if you had the 64-bit version =
PC - it costs thousands of =A3/$.

....to clarify - if you are running XP Home Edition, then you definitely =
have the 32-bit version.

If you have XP Home it is for sure 32bit.
