Question of simple XP again. Please excuse my ignorance.

I would like your advice on how to tell the difference between the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of XP - Pro just looked at the CD.  I have XP - Pro SP2 on the original CD. I think that because it does not specify if it of XP - 32 or XP 64 means that it is a 32-bit version, but I'm not sure.

I will use this for the operating system to a system that I'm building of spare parts and a new motherboard & CPU.     I'll order the motherboard today.  I need to know what operating system it is before I order RAM because the 64-bit supports much more RAM.

I have a new machine with Vista 64.  I tried to explore the CD of XP - Pro with this machine, but documentation on disc I read did not specify 32 or 64.

Thank you
