do 32 bit apps and games likie battlefield 2 and HL2 run on the 64 bit edition of Vista. Is there a compatibility issue due to the app being 32 bit and the OS being 64 bit? thanks

32 bit programs run just fine on 64bit operating systems.

Ya the games mostlyrun fine. 64 bit Vista has a separate folder for the x86 files.

I had to make my system a dual boot to include 32 bit Vista, so I can use i-tunes, so beware some stuff doesnt work...
