I have Windows xp Professional operating system. The disk does not indicate
if its a 64 or 32 bit version. How can I check this out? thanks

When you don't know, it is 32 bit.

If it was the 64-bit version, it would be so marked. Since it isn't
marked, you have the 32-bit version. If you want to see what something
looks like, go do a Google Image search, like:

http://www.google.com/images?q=+"windows xp professional" +"64-bit"

If you were accurate in saying that you *have* the "operating system"
(which means it is installed and usable) then why not go check yourself?
In Windows XP, run "winver". If it doesn't say it is a 64-bit version
then it isn't (so the only choice left would be for a 32-bit version).

Did you purchase 64 bit? You'd know, because it's pricey, and you would have
asked for it.

If you've installed it, right click on My Computer and choose properties -
if it's 64-bit it'll say so on the General tab. If it doesn't, it's 32-bit
(note it will not say 32-bit anywhere, but it won't say 64-bit).
