Running 32-bit Windows XP on a 64-bit processor

Hello all! I am purchasing a 64bit processor PC. I plan on installing VMWare ESX and running the 64bit Vista that comes with it virtually as well as create a Windows 32-bit XP VM. Will the windows XP VM run without any issues? Does anyone foresee any problems with this setup?

Randi and Rindi thanks.
I planned on going to bestbuy and buying a 64-bit computer with 8gigs of RAM that I saw on sale. I doubt that would be on the HCL. I will check it out though.

Does the computer I buy have to have a RAID controller?
