32-bit server, mixed 32/64-bit clients?

What are the issues that I should anticipate in such a setup? Specifically,

I'd like to tread slowly in the move to 64-bit. I have a simple home

network setup:

 

1 Longhorn 32-bit standard server

1 dual boot Vista/XP client 32-bit (main PC, Vista default OS)

1 dual boot XP/Vista client 32-bit (kids PC, XP default OS)

 

All are on a single domain.

 

Both clients are capable of 64-bit. The server is as well, but I'd like to

hammer out any 64-bit issues, quirks, etc. on a client before messing with

the server, plus most of my kids' games and such aren't ready for the 64-bit

plunge, so their PC will be stuck on 32-bit XP Pro for the foreseeable

future.

 

My main question is how 32-bit Longhorn will fare with essentially one

32-bit client and one 64-bit client. If I were going with a 64-bit server,

I wouldn't be nearly as hesitent.

 

Thoughts? Any experiences to share (good or bad)? Thanks in advance!
