What are the operating limits of windows xp professional

[Bristoleng]

Hello, I got a new laptop with 4GB/4GZ gear and it came with Win7 64 bit. So, I bought Win 7 32 bit. I had a pro reformat the HD and have 2 o.s. It asks which way I want to go when I boot up. I have been having a lot of problems loading printer drivers and PLOTTERS drivers. I am thinking of reformatting the HD again with XP Pro and Win7 64 bit. The concern is about the XP pro running slower if not at all due to RAM & processor in the new LT. Any suggestions?

if you use both the 32 and bits there could be conflict on the system ,why you dont keep only the 64 ?
