Redhat EM64T compatibility with 32 bit apps?

Just bought an Intel Xeon EM64T Processor OEM machine pre-installed with Redhat Intel EM64T v4. Does it true I will be facing problem running on 32bit apps?

Smile 32 bit
There is no reason to think that you will have any problems
running 32bit apps. There are very few 64 bit apps at present.

hi jenson,
As long as you can able to install 64 bit apps on 64 bit machine there is absolutely no problem. Also 32 bit apps can run on 64 bit provided they should not clash/ overwrite any existing installed libraries.
eg. if u have 64 bit apps installed and now u want to install 32 bit apps and if that wants any existing 32 bit library then its difflicult to install 32 bit app and similary viceversa.
I have experienced such problems
