Any publicly acessible os released in at least the last 5 years is going to be 32bit (or 64 :rolleyes: ). The only exceptions you may get, are homemade OSes, or specitally device OSes like handhelds, (or coffeepots ;)).

They like to say Win9X isn't truly 32-bit, because it's based on DOS.

Windows 3.xx was based on pure 16 bit code and windows 95/95/Me is a OS with both 16 and 32 bit code. W2k/XP are 32 bit. Don't know if XP also are 64 bit compatibelt or you need a speciel version.

You have to use the Windows XP 64bit Professional edition to work on the likes of Itanium.
