Respeced Sir

First off all thanks for great reply, Link which is provided by u is very help ful to me but my little confusion is that at very first see how we come to know that this is XP with 32 bit or 64 bit or we should assume from RAM of that particular Computer. Please guide...............

Hi Sapan,
XP Home is only 32 bit.
Xp Pro comes in a 32 Bit and 64 Bit version.
To find what version is installed: Right Click My Computer > Properties. On the General Tab if XP Pro is of the 64 Bit version it will state that. If it does not state a version it is a 32 BIT version.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Very much !........................

Now my last question is that link which is provided by u, in that there is system requirement of 64 bit XP and in this there is a point is that it required 64 bit Motherboard and chip set. So sir kindly let me know how we come to know that this motherboard is of 64 bit or not

Thanks & Regards
