So it's not a 64bit struggling to run 32bit, it can do both without emulation.
But again in order to run any 64 bit apps etc you will need the 64bit version of XP too

So if your running the normal XP your computer is emulating nothing. As far as XP is concerned you have a 32bit cpu. When they were designing this CPU they made it so it would run fine as a 32bit cpu for this reason.
