Does anyone know how I can find out if my home edition of
Windows XP is 32 bit or 64 bit?

[Robert Lankey]

It's 32bit. I don't believe there is a 64bit version of HE? Feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong though! :)

Nope, there is no 64bit version of XP Home.

Glad you asked, Karen. There are two methods: First, take
the number 32 and add 32 to it. If the sum you come up
with equals 64, then you know the original number was
more than likely 32. On the other hand, if you take the
number 64, double it and subtract 96, and the answer you
come up with is 32, then you know that the original number
is likely to have been 64. This method does not take any
of the "naughty" bits into consideration, however.

The other method you can use is to READ ONE OF THE OTHER

Hope this helps!

Hello all,

I will be posting this on several threads; however to tell if you have a
64-bit vs. a 32-bit computer, just run the System Information tool. (type
winmsd at in the Run box) If you have a 32-bit system, the "System Type"
listed should be something like"X86-based PC". If you have a 64-bit
system, you will see an entry stating something like "Itanium (TM) - based
PC". In addition, when looking at the processor(s) on the computer, a
32-bit system should start with x86 and a 64-bit will start with ia64.
(didn't check an AMD or other processors to see if they show different)

I also noticed that on the Windows 2003 Server I tested, that the winver
tool showed in the artwork that the OS was built for 64-bit hardware.
(don't remember the exact wording)
