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

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) Best regards, Mike Truitt Microsoft Corporation |
