this is a 64 bit processor and i doubt a 32 bit application can be ported to it without huge effort and significant loss of speed. i'm not even sure whether there is a 64 bit version of windows ready yet.as far as i know to begin with this 64 bit processor wil be significantly slower than the fastest 32 bit processors.
