Is my XP OS 32 or 64 bit?

On the MSFT site it says that you need to upgrade to the same "bit" version
so I don't want to install the wrong one. I see the following after checking
the properties of "my computer":

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

Then, under Manufacturer and supported by it says:
AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile
Technology MK-36
1.60 GHz, 960 MB of RAM
Physical Address Extension

The "64" after the AMD name tells me that the processor must be 64bit but
I'm not sure if the OS is 64bit as well.

Thanks,
Amateur

32 bit.

If you had Windows XP x64 - you would have said so.
You said Windows XP Media Center.

You have a 32 bit OS.
