There is no operating system that will run everything.
Considering XP is the most compatible option am I to take it you've tried those games on XP?
The general rule of thumb is, if it don't work on XP it won't work on anything newer.

"I don't know" is the honest answer.
Games can be really fussy about a range of things, more so than the operating system. So while they may work on Win7, they may not like your graphics card for example.

so i guess the best option will be to do a dual OS set-up, so i can play what doesn't work on the 64 bit platform on xp and whatever does on win7. oh well can't always have the cake and eat it too.

I've just downloaded and ran a windows 7 compatability program from Windows. It said 'this game will have issues and won't run' and this will be fine etc. Might be worth a go.
