I'm shopping for a new system

Question is about 64-bit CPU like AMD Athlon - I don't know anything
about 64-bit system.

I intend to wipe Vista from the new system and install the good old XP


Sensible move. Before you do this, make sure that the appropriate chipset,
motherboard and other hardware drivers are available for XP. You might want
to image the Vista installation with soemthing like True Image just in case
you have an uncontrollable urge to revert back to Vista.

Can XP (32 bit) run on the 64-bit CPU ?

Yes.

Can 32-bit applications run normally ?


They certainly can.
