My new laptop has an Intel Duo T8400 processor. Should I install the 32

run a 32 bit application if I install the 64 bit distro ?
Why not both at the same time, NOT dual boot?
My laptop features a similar CPU.
When I am testing a 32bit OS, I simply run it in a VM using qemu-kvm.
Right this minute I need to test a vendor recommended upgrade to one of
our production servers, which is a 32 bit machine. So I fired up a VM,
and am currently restoring last night's backup of the production system
(RHE4) to the VM on my laptop.
When that finishes, I will run the vendor supplied upgrade procedure on
that VM and discover any problems.
All that, and more, while typing this.
Good Luck!
