Hi,
I'm currently replacing my 500g drive with a 2tb. Then I want to use boot camp to put windows on. Can I put windows 64bit on the partition, even though mac os is 32bit?

    No.

    64 bit is the processor. That's hardware, not software. 64 bit software will not run on 32 bit hardware.

    That would depend on how old the computer is. Macs have had 64-bit hardware for several years now.

    Best bet to get an accurate answer...post your system specs.

    Without those we are just randomly shooting in the dark...
