A google search should provide more info.
Any 32-bit app will run fine in an x64 environment thanks to thunking. Only 16-bit apps will truly not run, and odds of you running a 16-bit app these days are pretty slim.

Still, the above comments about the fact that you won't really notice a difference are accurate.
