Howdo I determine which version of XP I have?

[Jerry]

I want to download the new security patch that Microsoft
put out on 7/16; however, it asks if I have 32 or 64 bit
XP. How do I determine which it is? Thanks in advance
for your help!

Trust me, you have 32-bit.

If you had the 64bit version, you would know.
Therefore, you have the 32bit version.

Here is info on Windows XP 64 bit Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/64bit/evaluation/overview.asp
As you can see it is very unlikely that your system has an Itanium processor
and you would not know.

BTW you can expect to pay around $5000 US for an Itanium system check it out

If your car is cheaper than your computer then you have 64-bit

You have the 32-bit edition. Anyone who has the 64-bit version
knows it by the two large dents in his wallet--one for 64-bit
Windows, the other, even larger dent, for the special hardware
needed to run it.
