No, XP 32 bit will use the processor (I've got one in my desktop), but
you'll need 64 bit to use all that RAM.

 We're doing some heavy processing and were offered a Lenovo w/ Core 2 Quad
processor, 8 Gb Ram, 1 Tb hard drive.  
 
2 questions
Do you need to have Win XP Pro 64x Edition to make use of the processor?
 
Could you ghost a hard drive from a 32 bit system to a 64 bit one?
