Running 32-Bit Windows on a 64-Bit

I was wondering if there was a setting for which you could run (or make your system believe it is running) a 32-bit Windows Vista on a 64-bit Windows Vista. Bascially, I upgraded to a better computer so I could play games, right? But I feel pretty much screwed over by GameTap as they don't support 64-bit Windows. I can live without it, just wondering if I could emulate 32-bit Windows or something around those lines.

Run it in compatibility mode. Right Click on the program and then go to properties and then click on compatibility and then click on the icon that says run in windows 32 compatibility mode.

Greater flexibility Windows XP Professional x64 Edition gives you a robust platform for the integration of 64-bit and 32-bit applications using the Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) x86 emulation layer. You can move to 64-bit computing while still maintaining your existing investment in 32-bit software and Windows expertise.
