You can run 32-bit programs on a Vista 64 bit. It installs them in a folder called Program Files(x86). The 64-bit programs go in the regular Program Files folder.

However, unless you're trying to use more than 4 GB of RAM, I'd suggest just using 32 bit Vista, unless you already have the 64-bit version, which is fine also.
