How do I tell which Windows XP version I have in relationship to 32 or 64
bit?

Thank you

Fay

You have the 32-bit edition. The 64-bit edition requires special
hardware, and very few home users have it.

Hi Fay,

If you have XP home or Xp Pro it's 32 bit.

So if I have the Pro version is should still be the 32-bit.

Thanks Fay

Not necessarily.

If you have a $3300 dollar PC with an Intel Itanium II processor in it from
someone like HP see http://www.hp.com/workstations/itanium then you would
have Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003.
You can see this is you look at the General tab on the Properties of My
Computer.

Hi Fay,

Undoubtedly you have the 32 bit version. The only 64 bit Windows is Server
2003 and if you had shelled out the cash for that and the hardeware you'd
know it... You only get 64bit on purpose! :)

Having 64-bit windows is like owning a Ferrari. You don't need to ask if
you have. You know. Mainly because of teh ridiculous amount of money you
spent to get it.

"Note: If you're confused about whether you should download the 32-bit patch
or the 64-bit patch, you need the 32-bit. The 64-bit patch is for
ultra-expensive Intel Itanium-based computers, and you would have noticed
plunking down about $20,000 or more for your PC if you happened to have
purchased one of these."

Thanx for the info. I was simply quoting from the article, which seemed to
be written by an MS mvp..
Anyway, it's still just about as relevant ;-)
