Do you have a $10,000 server? I think you probably have 32 bit like 99.9% of xp owners ;)

XP 64 refers to the 64-bit edition of Windows XP, for Intel Itanium and Itanium 2 processors. It is HIGHLY unlikely that you have one of these and don't know about it.

All pentium class processors (and compatibles including AMDs, IDT, and Cyrix etc.) are all 32-bit.

Therefore, you should have XP 32.

Itaniums are solely for server use, and despite high availablility, are very expensive (they also require specialised motherboards, among other things).
