While this may seem like a stupid question, I would appreciate any help
received.

I have an older PC, (Athlon 2500+, nForce 2 mobo, 1GB PC2700), and need to
get a valid licence key on it. It had to get reformatted due to a failing
HDD. I unfortunately lost my XP 32 bit disc key, but I do have several x64
license keys laying around. Would it be possible to use one of these keys on
32-bit XP?

Hello,
Nope it's not possible.
The Windows XP X64 keys will not work on 32-bit Windows XP
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
