I tried using a laptop with 32bit vista on it and it still had massive issues with pre xp games so how can it be usable?

The x86 ISA is backward compatible, so the CPU being 64-bit doesn't matter. Vista has issues because of the differences of the OS itself. You'd see the same problems if you install it on a P4.

anything 2core or greater when playing my old games

A number of old games simply do not work properly with multi-core CPUs, regardless of the OS.
