Why would his wallet be lighter? XP Pro x64 system builder is about
the same price as XP Pro x86 system builder (there is no retail x64).

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but in the olden days I'd always heard that it was way
pricey (and he does mention an old version).

Where do I go to find out if I have 32 or 64 bit XPpro, I have a
dual core AMD 64 processor but can't remember if I have 32 or 64 bit
software. I looked in control panel/system. I am running a very
early version of XP pro Version 5.1.2600. I am having audio
problems and screwed up my driver. Now after uninstalling, my
driver install fails. Something about the wrong hardware. Since I
haven't changed hardware, I am assuming that it doesn't like the 64
bit driver that I downloaded from Asus. Having a computer with no
sound is very (quiet). I had a power supply issue with my speakers
which I have resolved.

If your wallet wasn't significantly lighter, it's 32-bit (even
though your hardware isn't). Running Winver or MSINFO32 will tell
you, too. Get the XP x86 driver from the manufacturer's website.
