Can a computer with 64bit Vista be reformatted and installed with a version of 32bit XP without any compatibility issues? If it can, how would I do this?

Hello.   I would like to get the ASUS F6V-X1 from newegg, but a program I use doesn't play well with vista.  I know that some ASUS laptops ship with an xp recovery disc with a pre-built xp image.  I can't see from the picture on the newegg site if this disc is included.  Has anyone here purchased this model before?   Thanks,   Bryan.

I am unsure if I can add an additional hard drive to my Dell XPS Gen 5.  I just ordered a 1.5 KB internal hard drive that I want to install.  I haven't found enough information in my Owners Manual to feel comfortable about doing it without more info.

I'm going to be buying a new computer either today and tomorrow, and I wanted to know something for sure.   If the hardware you buy has 64 bit support, does it HAVE TO have a 64 bit os in it, or does it just support it.
