    How do you run games on a fx8500 that use 32 bit when computer is a 64 bit?

    Most 32 bit programs will run on a 64 bit OS, what 64 bit can't do is anything that uses 16 bit. The age of 16 bit has been and gone long ago so it's unlikely you'll find something which doesn't work. There are a few exceptions though
