Re: Is Vista Ultimate (released version) 64bit?
32bit apps run in x64 unless they rely on a 32bit driver. 32bit code is
executed normally on a 64bit processor. Most of the issues that prevent
older apps from running in Vista x64 have to do with the use of 16bit
installers and unavailability of 64bit drivers, or with unsigned drivers.
