moved a vhd from x86 to 64-bit system, is VMA any different withthe 64-bit Virtual PC?

I just replaced my desktop with a 64-bit Vista system, and I installed
the 64-bit version of Virtual PC 2007+SP1. I plan to run the same
virtual machines as I previously ran on a 32-bit system with the x86
version of Virtual PC 2007+SP1. Do I need to update the Virtual Machine
Additions? Are they the same in the x86 and 64-bit versions?

Thanks,
Bob

It will work. The additions are installed in the guest.

I have a dual boot XP x86 and Vista x64 machine, and I can use the same VM's on
each. The VM's live on a common data partition used by both OS's.

Yes, I understand that the additions are installed on the guest.
However, unlike anything else on the guest, they are obviously aware of
the host. I just wanted to make sure.
