For many years (up to 4 years ago) I used to run Povray on
64 bit alphas and now on itaniums.
The memory stuff is a two edged sword, I often had to
revert to 32 bit processors because on a 64 bit machine
(with the same total ram as as a 32 bit machine) I used
to run out of memory because more memory was needed due
to longer addresses etc.
