How can I tell if I have Windows XP 32-bit or 64-bit?

You're the second person in two days to ask this, there must have been a TC show or magazine that spouted about 64 bit OS's.

Here's the deal:

If you were running a 64bit edition, you would have paid an enormous amount of money for the PC to have the new Itanium or Itanium II chipset.

Unless you paid 2 or 3 thousand dollars, I would doubt you have a 64bit system, most retail XP systems are 32bit.

Footnote: I'm sure that if you had a 64bit system, you wouldn't be asking this question.

Ozmedia is right, but if you loaded the shell via the Library of Congress you have a reactive proceeor function and it runs the processor size that is needed, from two-byt DOS to 1024 byt processor that some of the bandwigth stuff is trying to use; and some of the movies that are shoot digitally.
