Let me throw out another idea for you to consider: Make the 64-bit OS Linux.

You've already stated that Povray is the only real reason for the 64-bit 
OS, and Povray is quite happy on Linux. 64-bit Linux has also been 
around a bit longer than 64-bit Windows, and has had a chance to mature 
a bit. ;-)

That said, I'm a Linux fanboy (I'm pounding this out under 32-bit Linux) 
and I haven't had the money to shell out for a 64-bit processor, so I 
can't tell you whether or not the performance difference is worthwhile.
