Windows Vista Will 32 bit apps run on the 64 bit sys?

Will 32 bit apps run on the 64 bit system, using the 64 bit OS?

 

All my 32 bit apps run just fine on an Athlon 64 +2. Using a 32 bit Vista.

From what I've found some 32 bit apps are 16 bit based, they will not run. a true 32 bit will run as it part of 64 bit apps. some info here i didn't understand> http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384143.aspx

 

Thanks for the replies, I may just go for the 64 bit stuff when I upgrade my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) to a 64 bit machine in a year or two. But it seems unnecessary for standard office tasks.

 

32 & 64 bits

Will 32 bit programs run in the 64 bit environment? Not really, but Microsoft remedied that for Vista.

Vista 64 has a 32 bit subsystem allowing you to run your 32 bit programs. I am running Vista 64, and every 32 bit program that is Vista compatible, runs like a dream..

Hope this helps
