Dual boot 32 bit and 64 bit Windows

I plan on leaving XP professional on my C drive...then installing Windows 7 professional on my D drive....therefore having a dual boot system...Can I install the Windows 7 as a 64 bit operating system to operate with the 32 bit XP that will remain on C?


Yes, if your hardware supports a 64-bit operating system, you should be able to dual-boot to 64 bit Windows 7.
