AMD 64x2 works with a 32bit Windows XP?

I was thinking of purchasing a a new desktop, [A barebones kit] and it was a AMD athlon 64x2, but I am curios, I have 32 bit Windows, would it still run fast? I mean I have a 64 bit Processor on alaptop and then I installed Windows' XP 32 and it was a bit slow, and the the WINDOWS MCE 64 I think, that came with the laptop was much faster.

Answers:
yes the processor will work down its when you try to go up that you see problems.
Not with all programs.
DO NOT WORRY IT.
I THINK IT IS OK!
Actually all Microsoft software since 98 will work with the AMD64 variants. It just works more as a CPU with Dual Access mode. Meaning it can run a DVD burn AND access the memory at the same time. Assuming that your devices have integrated controllers and/or DSP's. Why? Because firmware thru software modems, network cards, sound cards, drive controllers would be accessing the CPU cycles slowing things down. I run Petium3 CPU's and they run almost as fast as my AMD Dual. How? Every card has on board, hardware encoded controllers. Separate cards equal speed IF you have the slots!
