Seriously, there is no way you bought an Itanium by mistake. They are
expensive machines: The entry-level workstation available from HP (who
co-developed the Itanium with Intel) goes for over $3000 and the
entry-level server is over $13,000. And in addition to paying for the
computer itself, you probably had to install a custom air conditioning
system for your building to keep it cool.
If you still aren't sure whether you have one, go to Help.About in
Explorer. At the top of the About box, it will say "Windows XP 64-Bit
Edition" if you have it.
