Best to get a few people's opinion.

How do you check it?

Windows XP
If you have Windows XP, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.
Method 1: View System Properties in Control Panel

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
3. Click the General tab. The operating system appears as follows:
* For a 64-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
* For a 32-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version <Year> appears under System.
Note <Year> is a placeholder for a year.

Method 2: View System Information window

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
3. When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, locate Processor under Item in the details pane. Note the value.
* If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
* If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.

64 bit has better performance for higher end computers (especially with, for example, computers with more than 4gb of ram) however, it usually has incompatibility issues with drivers and other software

What the difference between a 32 and 64?

Wait, i know.... 32

I'd need to investigate how much pc's cost exactly nowadays, but it seems like it was a reasonable deal. I think that it would be considered a /good/ deal if you got it from some big shop that offers guarantees etc. however, if it was from some cheap tiny shop then I'd consider it to be an average deal.

Ah cool, enjoy that monster then.

 

[seymour7]

That bad boy probably needs a whole aircon for itself.

 

[seymour7]

Ah water cooling is nice, and its pretty silent too. Not too sure about prices though.

 

[seymour7]

I'm not too sure what's a good water cooling system or not, but here's some prices from prophecy: http://www.prophecy.co.za/-c-1_135_146.html

 

[guest2013-1]

seems like a decent enough system for that price I s'pose. what are you trying to do with that PC anyway?

**** I'd love that machine for WoW atm, my laptop suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

 

[seymour7]

Nice.

 

[seymour7]

I inserted it in?
No more heat?

I'm assuming those question marks were supposed to be full stops. Sounds pretty good.

I'm also assuming English is not your first or second language?...

You from South Africa?

Given that this isn't a Grammar Nazi patrolled thread, I decided to slip into pidgeon English, which is considerably more structured than 95% of the English used on this forum.

And my pidgeon English is omitting a word, but is still a structured sentence. The "English" from your previous post is not even close to be a structured sentence.

See, there we go again. What am the victim?

(I do apologise, and this is NOT a personal attack on you Superior. It just drives me up the fscking wall when people can't even construct a simple English sentence)
