64-bit

All the parts for the computer that I'm building are on their way and I just had a quick questions about OS's.

the processor I'm getting is the e6750 which, is 64-bit. my question is whether or not you can use a 32 bit OS. And if so, would you still just get the X86 version?

I installed Xp 64 when I set up my new system a couple of weeks ago. Down side is most of my hardware drivers are all beta, finding AV and Firewall software was a bite, and finally, I cannot use PDF writer. Some of my older apps will not run on the 64 bit platform. So I would suggest staying with the 32 bit version for now.
