For it to be 64bit you would have had to spend a LOT of money on a line of processors used mostly in servers for corporations, and spent a lot more money on the 64bit version of WinXP.

I don't even think there is a 64 bit version of XP Home Edition.

Could be wrong tho.

Windows XP 64-Bit Edition is the actual name for it, not the pro nor home edition.
It's just windows xp 64 bit edition.
Which is basically the pro since it has all these features for a high end desktop or server.
:Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003, a high performance workstation operating system aimed at those engaged in solving complex scientific problems, developing high-performance design and engineering applications, or creating 3-D animations. The 64-bit edition is designed to exploit the power and efficiency of the Intel Itanium 2 processor."
