Running older steam games?

So I have Vista 64 now and 16 bit games won't work on it from what I've heard. So if I were to download and play Doom or Doom 2 on steam, it won't work? I don't know whether they are 16 bit or not but they are old and used to have DOS versions.

Downloading them through Steam will work on Vista. I know a friend who's played them succesfully on Vista 64 bit.
