You have the 32-bit version of Windows XP. The 64-bit version is
only commercially available for very expensive, high-end Itanium =
processors.

You have 32bit most likely

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

If you have XP Pro..Right click on My Computer and select Properties. If
you see 64-bit in there anywhere u have 64 it it does not say 64 then u have
32.

Consumer 64bit machines are due to be released by AMD shortly.
