1. cannot tell fore sure, as my Xp Pro 64 was extremely stable. Vista is =
more so.
have found NO more printer drivers for vista then there were for XP Pro =
64 bit.
2. CANNOT upgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit either vista or xp.
you can create a new partition/disk and install either and use dual =
booting.
3.NO, it would require a new partition/drive. but the dual booting =
should work.
for your info. installing vista creates a whole new booting scenario. =
vista has its own boot manager. and labels the older
windows as Previous Windows in the boot menu.
to dual boot, you install the older system first because of this.

I have win xp pro x64, and have had a few problems, mainly freezes and
lack of printer drivers etc.. I was thinking to upgrade to vista and =
I
have a few questions:
1 is the 64 bit vista a much-improved version and am I going to have
the same problems?
2 can I upgrade to 32-bit vista and avoid some of these problems.
3 off topic slightly, but is it possible for me now to install win xp
pro (32 bit) on my system and have a dual boot option?
Cheers!
