Cmd prompt x32 or x64? Help?

[blueExcess]

Alright, so quick question. I am attempting to do a few upgrades to our office computers, the first of which being more RAM. (currently running 256MB RAM on a board with 2 Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz CPUs installed..... anyone else see a problem?) So basically - I'm not sure how the previous (overpriced) tech set them up, but I need to know if I'm running x32 or x64 versions of xp. Any ideas?

Although - in theory, since I have 2 CPUs, even if they are at x32 bit, could I still run 8GB of RAM? (trust me, we need as much RAM as we can get)

Thanks in advance.

For a work PC, I *highly* doubt you have x64 installed. Simple enough to check - Just look at the computer details.

No. That is a function of the operating system.



p.s. - It's x86

It implies compatibility with the 32-bit, read full:
