Yes. The operating systems are mostly oblivious to each other, so it doesn't matter if one is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit.can you install suse 11.1 64bit and dual boot with windows home premium vista 32bit?
On an unrelated note, your network problems in Vista probably had nothing to do with 32-bit vs 64-bit.Registered Linux user #270181

I agree, I suspect it was either a driver or firewall issue that was causing the issue. I think MS went overboard with protections in Vista. Originally Posted by techieMoe Dell Precision T7400 Workstation

I had issues with both my wife's (Home Premium 32-bit) and my (Ultimate 64-bit) installs of Vista on our home network. We ended up having to reset our router a couple of times. After that, it seemed to work. Your mileage may vary. Originally Posted by timalan Registered Linux user #270181

I'd figure your problems in 64-bit vista would be due to lack of driver availability for the 64-bit architecture, usually to reset a modem or router you just unplug it from power for 30-60 seconds, then plug back in
