I have a HP Pavilion m9260f PC that has 64 Bit Vista Premium on it. It has two 500 GB hard drives that are configured as a single Raid. I need to be able to run a few 32 bit programs. Can I do this by installing an additional operating system and dual boot or what? Thanks for any responses.

Vista 64bit (or XP) will run 32bit applications.
For future reference, please use the questions forum. That will usually result in quicker answers and will also give you the opportunity to mark the question as helpful. Then someone looking for the same type of answer will be able to find and use the solution. Thanks

I am a church treasurer and the church has a pgm called ASM accounting. I tried to install it on the new computer and it will not install. I contacted the IT department that resolves ASM problems and they advise me that they are tring to develope an upgrade to the pgm. Meanwhile my old WinXP cpu is deteriorating fast. Thus the need for a 32-bit operating system via a dual boot. Can that be done?

Checked out the options you provided, it looks like dual booting is my best bet. Thanks for the assist.
