question on installation please

[robin]

i just received the DVD for windows vista 2
I plan to put it on an older computer running 533mhz. I called MS and they
told me it would run but slow. I assume because it is an older machine I
have to use the 32bit installtion cd right? (came with 2- one 64bit- one
32bit.

Also i am using a test machine that is running win2000 pro. I plan to
reformat the drive. Will this CD do the reformating? or do I have to use
the original disk from win2000 to do the reformat of the HD?

thanks
robin

1. Use the 32bit Vista. You have a 32 bit CPU.

2. Vista install DVD can be used to reformat the HD.
