And I am really confused at your explicit mention of 64-bit. I don't believe many XP systems were delivered on 64-bit processors
XP was run mostly 32-bit. But there is no reason not to upgrade to 64-bit. 32-bit Windows only allows running 3 gigs of ram even if you have more installed.

As for the system, if it fails the adviser, than I suggest a new system.
