   What's the difference between both? how can i know which one i have?

   i think i have the 32 bits (X32) cause some applications are asking me to download the 32 bits as the 64 runs only on X64 XP and 2003 X64.

   Which one is better to have?

   If you haven't already got a solid reason to install XP64, and are unsure of the differences - and have not got as far as google to do some preliminary research - it is almost certain you are running XP32 and XP64 won't be of much benefit to you.

   what an astounding intro from bubby! indeed you have hidden talents.

   so how can i find if my system is running on XP64 or 32? causei used the ashampoo winoptimizer to find out and it didnt mention anything about it....i think.

   also what is the difference between virtual memory and physical memory?

   according to your link there's a huge difference in memory support between the 32 and 64. Its an exponential difference.

   take care
