How do I tell if my Windows XP PC is 64bit?

Some of the info above is false. Both intel and AMD make 64-bit chips. 64-bit is not any faster than 32-bit for everyday applications. In fact, for most applications, it's slightly slower. That's because most applications have not been developed for 64-bit computations. The memory latency also attributes to 64-bit being slightly slower. However, it's mostly unnoticeable.\n\nYou should run CPU-Z if you wish to know more about your system. It's a tiny, free, standalone application that does not require installation to run. And it will tell you a lot more than just your processor type.\n\nLink: h ttp://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php\n(note the space)\n\nAlso, you will need a 64-bit operating system (e.g. WinXP Pro x64) to enable the "benefits" of 64-bit computation.

It should be listed on the invoice somewhere.  And if you don't have an AMD processor, it's not 64bit.  Open the Control Panel and then open System.  Towards the bottom it should be listed there.

Win XP 64-bit has the capacity to work a lot faster.However, this capacity can only be realized if your hardware is up to the task. The new 512Mb cache memory CPU's are up to the task. With a lesser cache, you may not be able to achieve the software's potential The benefits of 64-bit are really only seen under demanding conditions, but, in the future, processing demands are bound to "rise to the occasion," so to speak, and 64-bit will become the norm.

if you are reffering to the message ' invalid win 32 application' then let me explain that all windows operating system till xp are 32 bit operating system and only allow 32 bit application to be executed(this means 32 bit is executed at a time). so if the program is corrupt, then you may get that message or you may get it if the operating system is corrupt. try reinstalling the application you are trying to access or u may have to reinstall windows. ps sorry if the info is not accurate, cuz the we need more info abt the problem\nlol

What windows are you using?? XP, ME, 2000, 98, or 95. If you are using XP it should download.

Ask.\nJust tell us what Windows version...and. Voila!

Windows XP 64 bit Edition is for use with 64-bit processors and applications.  At this point in time, there are not enough applications to warrant upgrading the system.  I recommend keeping everything as is.\n\nAll your old programs and drivers will work, because XP x64 is naturally backwards compatible with XP x32.\n\nIf you have any further questions, please email techsupport@thepcmonitor.com

Your best bet is to go to Microsoft Downloads and download their compatibility wizard on your machine first, it will tell you what you have that won't work before you start. I am using the 64 bit version now and I love it.

U SHOULD USE PENTIUM III PROCESSER WITH 800MHz\nTHE RAM SHOULD BE 128MB OR ABOVE TO INSTALL THE WINDOWS XP\n\nRIGHT CLICK ON THE MY COMPUTER-CLICK ON THE PROPERTY THEY U CAN SEE THE RAM SIZE AND PROCESSER

Without directing you to an illegal site, this information cannot be provided.\n\nThere is no free (and legal) way to download and install Windows XP.

That's a hard question to answer. It depends on how old the computer is, and what kind of hardware it has. If it is a relatively new computer, then you can go out and buy a copy of windows xp. If it is an older computer or one without good hardware, then xp may not run on it. Your best option then is to put something like windows 98 on it if you can find it, or else Linux. If you know someone who is knowledgeable about computers, then ask them to burn a Linux ISO for you. Linux is free this way (except the cost of the disk). I have heard good things about Ubuntu Linux. You can get it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/

Check to see if your computer will support running Windows XP Professional. \nRecommended by Microsoft:\n300 MHz CPU *\n128 MB of RAM *\n1.5 GB of available hard disk space *\nSuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\nNetwork adapter\nSound card and speakers\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n* I recommend a minimum 450MHz CPU, 8GB HDD, 256MB of RAM\n\nthen Purchase an OEM license of Windows XP and replace your current outdated operating system.\nYou can find stores on eBay who sell windows XP OEM version for under $150.

It's probably not compatible with your operating system. For example many windows 95 programs wont work because that was 16 bit, and XP runs off 32 bit processors.\n\nYou can try changing it by right clicking the setup -> properties and changing the compatibility mode until it gives the desired effect (works lol)

I have been running a 64 bit version of XP for several months now.\n\nIt runs fine. The only issue is software developers are just now starting to take advantage of the 64 bit architecture. As they continue to write 64 bit applications it's benefits will multiply greatly.\n\nNot many people today have ever used MS-DOS. Some of the old timers may remember typing commands into DOS but the majority of computer users today were raised on Windows.

somtimes its very tricky to get a 32bit version of xp to recognize more than 2gb of ram...64bit version of xp does not have this problem
