do they cover 32 and 64 bit like windows vista and 7 do?
No.
And Vista doesn't either, not sure where you got that from?
Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 keys are valid for either 32Bit or 64bit installs .
indeed they are, just need to know if xp is the same
Depends entirely on what you bought. OEM licenses are tied to their respective "bit" versions.

I am 99.9% sure that is incorrect, do you have something to back that up?
Windows XP?.....Didn't realise it was 2001 .
iv tried retail and oem, and they have all worked, my own 7 key is off my dead hp laptop, i thought, might as well use it on my pc since the laptop was borked, from another persons point of view it isnt legitimate, but it activated so thats all im interested in, as for anyone saying, oh well thats wrong, you shouldnt do it, well..... you know what i dont care, iv spend a lot of money on that laptop, only to be refused it being fixed under warrantee so i used it, and activated my 64bit win 7, this xp one im interested in, is a legit key on a legit laptop, just the question of will it activate or not is what i need to know
These 20-odd Lenovo ThinkCentre A57 9704-7CG's I have sat here will only install/activate 32-bit Vista Business, I've tried Vista Business 64-bit and it always fails.
