Should I install Vista 64 or 32

[Guest]

I have ordered the DVD version of Vista Beta 2.I believe this comes with 2
DVD's (64 bit and 32 bit).I have an AMD64 3700 San Diego Processor.As most of
my software is designed for 32bit , I am unsure as to whether to install the
32 bit or 64 bit version .I previously tried Windows XP64 and found that I
lost full functionality of my software even though most programs did work to
some extent(except Roxio Easy CD Creator 8)
p.s. I will probably do aclean install on a spare HD 9for safetys sake

Compatibility is the major factor here, are all your applications native
32 -bit or 64 -bit, does all your hardware devices have 64-bit drivers?

If you just want to see what Vista is like then install the x86 edition.
btw, I use Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 on XP Pro x64 without issues. In fact
I burned the dvd's I used to install both Vista x86 and x64 with it.
