I have a computer which originally came witt Vista. It's a 64bit
machine. I got it with XP Pro SP3 installed. I know that XP is 32bit.
I'm a little puzzled about this. Can XP (or any 32bit OS) run on a
computer that has a 64bit processor?

(I know you cant do it the other way. You cant run a 64 bit OS on a 32
bit machine).

Does running a 32 bit OS on a 64bit machine work any better or worse
than it does using an actual 32 bit computer?
