Default 32bit applications on 64bit ?


I ordered for a Dell Studio laptop from USA. The laptop hasn't reached yet. Only yesterday did i notice that my Vista on the laptop was 64bit. As i've never used 64bit i have a doubt.

Can we run all 32bit applications on the 64bit Vista ?

yes all drivers should be x64...and x86 files can be easily run.

the drivers wouldn't be a problem as its a laptop, so all the drivers will be present in it.

Dont worry.
With 64 bit, all 32 bit programs will work. Also, you will see increased performance with those programs that have 64 bit support as they will work faster
