Yes i know that but that was not what i said yes you can run 32 bit on 64 bit systems but WHY should we ? , 64 bit is now the defacto CPU supplied by almost every motherboard maker going apart from the ultra low energy types ( ITA ect ) . I know we also keep getting the reply blame Sun and Co for the lack of 64 bit support in browsers for things like java why ? .
