    32 bit or 64 bit????

    Hey Gang,

    How do I determine if a Windows XP machine is running in 32bit or 64bit mode?? I've been under the understanding that 64bit mode is automatic if your running NTFS. Is this correct??

    Thanks in advance

    The 64-bit version is different OS entirely. It would have to be installed as the 64-bit ver to run that way, and has nothing to do with the File system used.

    See these articles for some comparison…

    You won't be seeing anything conventional running a 64 bit OS.
