How to tell

[NLE]

I've downloaded the patch. How do I tell if my windows
XP is a 32 bit or 64 bit version?

Hi NLE

Here's the Full Monty - take your pick:

From a command prompt type "systeminfo" - without the quotes. If you =
see X86, you have the 32-bit version. Also courtesy of MVP Kelly =
Theriot.

and for the adventurous person:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SessionManager\Enviro=
nment. In the right pane: Processor_Architecture should
read: x86 for 32 bit.

Right click My Computer and select properties. If nothing there specifically
shows 64 Bit, then you have the 32 Bit version.

The 64 Bit version is very rare and takes a computer specifically designed
to operate it.
