There is a 64 bits version, so get it.
You can get it on the download page: http://www.povray.org/download/
It's the second one in the "Windows" section.

Under Windows Vista, you must install into a custom directory, NOT the default 
one. POV-Ray need to update some of it's INI files and Vista don't allow it when 
working in the programm files folder.

The 64 bits version will be able to take advantage of any amount of RAM that you 
have, and can possibly add to your motherboard.

If you feel adventurous, you can get the beta version. This version can take 
advantage of multicore and multiprocessors systems. You need to first install 
the 3.6 version then the 3.7 beta in a DIFFERENT folder.
