Does vista x64 work on a 32bit processor? is there a way to change to 32bit or will it do that automatically?

Nope, as it's doesn't understand the extra instructions.

Trust me keep well clear of the 64bit you don't know what your letting yourself in for 1. The endless search for Drivers is definatly the top reason, All your Hardware might as well go in a VTech after you install such a problem :wink:

In order to run 64-bit software, you NEED a 64-bit CPU.
In 64-mode you can run 32-bit software w/o problems.
