AMD Athlon Vista 32

I am rebuilding most of the components of my pc but I am keeping the hard drive and I was wondering if the AMD Athlon x2 64 Processors are compatible in any way with vista 32 bit, also if not is there any way I can get 64 bit without buying another copy?

Your question really doesnt make sense. CPU's dont have "compatibility" issues with an OS. The question is whether your hardware (CPU, MB, RAM) can handle the OS. And yes, the Athalon 64 X 2 can hadle Vista fine. If you want 64 bit vista, you will have to buy it.

Also, if you are going to run Vista, get at least 2gb of RAM
