Well, I installed Far Cry, and the only patch I put on it was the x64.  So 
it's likely it won't work at all as 32 bit.  I can go install it fresh as 32 
bit and patch it to 1.32 and it will likely work under x64.  If I want to 
play it in XP Pro 32 bit, I'll have to install it again, seperate from the 
64 bit install.  which I'll do as soon as I have time, like this weekend :)
