System overall performance not only depends on Windows Version and Procy but in many other facts, such as RAM type and amount of RAM, chipset, video chipset and type, HDD speed....

so post ur full System config ... then we can comment

well every major OS and even software since 2002 is available with 64bit version..

like all versions of Windows Server 2003 / All versions of Windows Vista has x64 version... few office 2007 products will also going have separate x64 version...

all major Linux releses also have their x64 version...

I'm having a XP Home Edition. Is it a 64bit or 32 bit thing.

just right clicnk on My Computer and Click Properties... if u r in x64 platform then it will be written there...

and as dissel pointed out... mostly branded system comes with 32bit XP :)
