how i understand theres only processors with 32 bits and 64 bits so if i insert cpu with 64bit i only can use 64bits software and windows?

Nope, if you have a 64 bit processor you can run a 32 bit operating system and 32 bit applications as well.

but if there is game like medal of honor and it writes 64 bit is not supported then i can play that game on pc with 64bits cpu like athlon 64?

The only time 64 bit will come into play is if your running a 64 bit Operating System, if you have a 64 bit Intel or AMD and run XP 32bit your running 32bit, nothing you can do about it.

Yes you can dual boot XP and Vista 64bit on two different drives or two different partitions

Just so you know, I have a Dual boot system here. One partition is meant for XP 32bit and one partition for Vista 64 bit, and it runs pretty well.

64-bit Windows also has a subsystem that allows it to run 32-bit applications
