    switch from 64 to 32 bit Vista

    Hi!
    before proceding, i'd like to ask what to take into account when installing
    a 32bits Vista over the 64 bits version, same drive, partition, replacing so
    to say. (I'd like to run Vista with more driver and software compatibility.)



    Thanks in advance!

    Just to let you know. You can't upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit and vice versa,
    you will need to create a new separate partition on the same drive or, on a
    second HDD and do a clean install from the DVD, in other words boot from the
    DVD.
