NOTE: There is no Service Pack 3 for the 64-bit version of Windows XP. If you are running the 64-bit version of Windows XP with Service Pack 2, you are on the latest service pack and will continue to be eligible for support and receive updates until April 8, 2014.To find out if you are running the 64-bit version of Windows XP, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. If you don’t see "64-bit" listed, then you’re running the 32-bit version and you need to install Service Pack 3. If "64-bit" is listed under System, you’re running the 64-bit version.
