Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. If it doesn’t say 64 bit under “system”, then you’re 32 bit In XP the stuff is branded x64: [http://www.tomshardware.pl/cpu/20050221/images/properties.gif](http://www.tomshardware.pl/cpu/20050221/images/properties.gif) 32 bit: [http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows\_XP/System\_Properties/SP2/General.shtml](http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/System_Properties/SP2/General.shtml) Under vista it actually says 32bit: [http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows\_Vista/System\_Properties/Index.shtml](http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_Vista/System_Properties/Index.shtml)
