Okay, well at Christmas im gonna be getting the following:

Intel Q9550 2.8ghz
2x 4870X2
2x2gigs g.Skill DDR2
ASUS P5E x38 Motherboard

Now, im obviously gonna put Windows 64bit edition as the main OS, but some games and such wont be compatible with 64bit Windows, so if i put 32bit Windows as a secondary OS and boot into that to play games and use programs that wont work on 64bit Windows will i get errors or will it just not read all the memory. What will happen?
