Hi - first of all I'm pretty sure you won't have to worry about the Farmville game. It's browser based and all the info about your farm is stored online under your account name. So, after you get the new PC running just go to Facebook, login, and your farm should be just as it was the last time you played it. You might have to recreate a few cookies, meaning you might have to manually enter your username, password and other info the first time you go to FB.
As for the file transfer... I fairly certain you'll be able to network the 64 and 32bit win versions with a crossover, but there are a lot easier ways of transferring files these days. Using the crossover you'll have to setup a LAN, and sharing, might have to mess with subnet ip's, etc. How bout just using an inexpensive thumb drive (not much more than a crossover)? Also, there are now USB network cables which are much simpler to use than a crossover - much less setup required: http://networkusb.com/ If you have a router, and you want a permanent network between the 2 PC's, then you can setup a network fairly easily. Windows has a free tool called Windows Easy Transfer which supposedly makes it simple to transfer your email, files, etc. Get it here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer be sure to get the version for XP to Win7. It's free. I've never tried it so I can't comment on it. Oh, as for ZooWorld? Is that a FB app also? I'm pretty sure it'll be the same as Farmville since the same company makes it (Zynga).
