It can work in 32bit mode... as long as the binary is 32bit. On linux and osx, you can run 32bit binaries on a 64bit system... along side 64bit apps. I think you can do it on windows too... but not as well.
For some things 64bit python is 4x faster for me... so 64bit python is faster than psyco with 32bit psyco for some things.
