    actually yes, even for vista x64 vista has an special folder called program files (x86) where it sotres all 32 bit applications. be sure though of video card limitations. 256+MB VC recommended.

    So long as you have all the correct drivers then yes. Although you can have the updated drivers and the game may still not work. If you want to play games stick with XP. Also you will notice games run a bit slower on Vista.
