you should be able to run 32 bit postgresql on 64 bit windows.

its a bit trickier than just the same version, however...  they should 
be from the same distribution too... a version built with GCC and Cygwin 
might not be binary compatible with a version built with Microsoft 
Visual C (such as the EnterpriseDB versions) due to differences in 
runtime libraries.
