32bit apps will run fine, as long as they work on Vista.

I have heard from others that they had some issues with some of the 64bit drivers. My 32 bit version of Home Premium seems to be working flawlessly though. So... that's all I have for ya, wish I could be of more help.

Drivers can be a pain and that is a problem I ran into running Linux on my 64 bit machine. However, the x64 architecture is becoming more common so that problem should fade away. I would do a google search on some of your fav apps/games and see if anyone else is having issues. Also do the same for your hardware. If you game then checking for vid drivers is a must do.
