Don't worry buddy, apparently these guys are the offspring of Bill Gates. They know everything.

Don't worry follow the 1st reply. You will see it at the top

Right click My computers, select Properties

Here you will also notice, your processor speed and the amount of memory you have.

If you want to upgrade an original WinXP or XP SP1 system to SP2, make sure you download and use an offline upgrader like http://www.heise-security.co.uk/articles/80682

Otherwise you will be forced to download and apply dozens of additional security patches to SP2, and your system will be vulnerable online in the meantime.

Wow, that's actually decent. The other ones I've seen are so crap. lol

Or you could just check your XP COA, that is if you have one...

Windows key + Pause/Break is a fast way.
