How do I check windows xp dvd to find out if it is 64-bit?

[Guest]

I hae a software that is 64-bit but my computer is running widows vista 32-bit. I have windows xp professional that I can install but I want to find out before if it is 64-bit. It is on a dvd, how do I check it?

Windows X64 has a "Readme.htm" file in the root directory of the disc. In part, it will read:

"Readme for Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

For important information that you should know before you install this product, see Pre-installation Notes for the x64-based Versions of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Operating Systems." (and it goes on from there).

A 64-bit Windows XP DVD has printed upon it "Professional x64 Edition".

Unless it's a backup copy.
