    I will install my new t61p using vista 64bit:

    1. I also need a xp 32bit, can I install vista 64bit first and then install the xp 32 bit?

    2. Can any anti-virus software like Mcafee, Kapa support 64 bit vista?

    Thank you!

    I usually find it's better to install the older Operating System first.

    Yes it's always better to install the older OS first, since then when you install the newer OS, it is aware of the older one and sets up a dual boot menu. If you install Vista first, XP does not know that Vista exists, so it wipes out the boot menu and you won't be able to boot into Vista anymore.
