Intel em64T with xp64 ?

hello there

I have an intel p4 em64t processor board and I successfully installed xp64
pro. but when I go to computer properties it shows as p4 !?

is it normal ?

I am also wondering if xp64 bit can install on 32 and work as 32 ? just
incase my MB doesn't really think it's a 64 ?

You yourself identified the processor as a P4, so why shouldn't System
Properties?

You can install either 32-bit Windows or 64-bit Windows on a 64-bit machine,
but you cannot install 64-bit Windows on a 32-bit machine. It would be like
trying to get two pounds of peanuts in a one-pound bag.
