    I have a retail XP Pro 32 bit product key.

    If I install Windows XP Pro 64 Bit, can I use the 32 bit product key like it is the Case with Windows Vista? Are they also intercompatible FTW?

    You should be able to call in and get your 64bits activated and registered with a new key, and at the same time your 32bits COA key will be deactivated.

    cheers ...
