Hi,
 Yes it emulates 32bit. It's called WoW (Windows on Windows).
I actually went back to 32bit XP because of the lack of driver support. I think I'll wait until Vista is out as the driver support is apparently better.
If you really want to install 64bit then I would say back up all your old stuff, reformat and install from the CD.

Does 32 bit software run inside an emulator, like when you run old 16 bit software and it has to run inside NTVDM? Or does it run natively on the 64 bit processor?

The machine doesn't seem significantly faster with the new proc and RAM. I thought this was because I was using a 32bit OS on a 64bit proc.

That would be correct, as it need the 64bit extensions. They still hold their own in the 32bit applications though.
