Tested in Windows 7 Enterprise a few moths ago, works, but is slow than a real system even with a fast computer.
I built a multisystem boot and finally because i don't need it every day but only for checking (the main is 64 bit), i installed Windows 7 Ent. 64 bit in one disk and Windows7 Ent. 32 bit in another changing at boot time (using BIOS). It's faster than selecting the operation system from software, i can restore from image every disk without worry about the boot sector and the changes the multiboot agent made when i installed the second system.
If you want to use 32 bit system only install Windows 7 only and don't care about the processor. No reason to use XP Mode (32 bit) for running a 32 bit software working in 7 too.
The only reason as i said maybe an old emulator but we all use only legal software (i hope).
