64 bit help

[s0M30n3]

I was just wondering if you can run 64 bit applications in 32 bit windows? providing you have 64 cpu of course

It won't work right, you are prob. going to get allot of errors.

It would be different if you have a 32 bit application on a 64 bit operating system, the system would slow down its cycles to 32 bit.

64-bit Windows can run 32-bit applications but not the other way around. Sorta like you can't run 32-bit applications on old 16-bit Windows 3.1.

Unless the app has some sort of way to emulate at 32bit level (yeah, right), then that would be a resounding "no." Reason I say yeah, right, is probably because they will have 2 ver of the app. A 32bit ver and a 64bit ver.
