What would be the best order to do this? XP-vista 64-then vista 32 so it would be the 1st boot?

Well I wonder why you would want to install Vista 32 bit and 64 bit on same machine realy?

But here are two links to help you decide:

How to dual boot Vista and XP (with Vista installed first) -- the step-by-step guide with screenshots

How to dual-boot Vista with XP (with XP installed first) - step-by-step guide with screenshots

I would learn how to dual boot Vista and XP first before attempting to triple boot.

You shoyuld check that hardware drivers are available also for all three operating systems.

I have problems with games I used to run on vista 32bit with no problems but I want to keep 64bit for newer games for the full use of my 64bit processor.

Ahh I got you.

I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit and it is a bit of a pain to get software for it.
