Is there a vista32bit emulator for this?

Server has 16gigs of ram and only serving around 10mbps with all static content pics and movies, i'd estimate about 200 max connections at anyone time. It's an i7 cpu and has i believe 4cores running.

If i wanted to use this like a remote pc and do a bit of encoding and a few other programs i'd usually use on my home machine - is it possible to install these on windows 2008 since i think this is 64bit and my home vista is 32?. Is there some emulator for this so all progs running on my vista would work on this machine? I've been told i would run into a lot of issues trying to run some of my apps i use on my home machine.

Would such emulation put large stress on the machine even doing minor things?

I guess doing any encoding at peak times would not be a good idea, but i dont think the cpu is doing much. I'm not sure how to tell how much stress the drives are under, but not much i would think since the biggest files served are like 10-20mb.

Or just leave this alone and get a cheap server with xp or vista 32bit installed on it??


thanks
