  What do you expect it to do that it can't do right now? Or what do you
expect it to do better than now?

  Unless you have more than 4 gigabytes of memory (which I doubt), you
will not probably see any difference (and even if you have more memory
than that, you will see the difference only if you make a scene which
consumes that much memory). If anything, the 64-bit version will be
some percents slower (except in the AMD 64-bit processor, where they
for some odd reason did not optimize 32-bit execution as much as the
64-bit execution like every other 64-bit processor has done).

  If you expect POV-Ray to do something better when compiled to 64-bit
architecture, could you explain what and why?
