Default 32-bit or 64-bit?

I just took home an "excessed" computer from work pre-loaded with Windows XP
SP3. Where do I look to find out if this is a 32-bit or a 64-bit operating
system? The IT guy is out sick or I would ask him. Thanks.

My advice is to ignore the answer.

If I acquired a used computer, no matter who previously owned it, the
first thing I would do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system cleanly. You have no idea how the computer has been maintained,
what has been installed incorrectly, what is missing, what viruses and
spyware there may be, etc. I wouldn't want to live with somebody
else's mistakes and problems, possibility of kiddy porn, etc., and I
wouldn't recommend that anyone else do so either.
