Your DAW has to have the 64 bit support first.

Best Advice Ever: RTFM
The general rule for 64 bit is that you dont want to mix 64 bit hosts (sonar is the only one I know of) and 32bit plugins.
As far as your setup, SL3 is a 32 bit program so you will gain nothing by running it on a 64bit OS since the memory utilization rules are program specific, not the OS

Apology accepted, , , thanks for all the help guys.
I am building my first daw and want explore all the options and gain the most from the equipment i have and plan on buying, , thats why i asked the question in the first place !
I dont want to spend all the cash and then go through all the pain of building my own system from scratch (1st timer ), , only to find out afterwards that if i had done " this " or "that " then i would have a better system.
The only reason i asked about 64bit systems is in case i need to utilise more ram in the future, as the asus P5Q PRO board i have bought can utilise 8gb with a 64bit OS. I cant ever see myself needing that much, but you never know these days, , , i want to future proof my system as much as possible, , if the word futureproof has any meaning these days ! !
Steinberg are releasing more and more drivers for vista 64bit and xp 64bit systems, so some of their software must be able to run with 64bits.
If so, i am willing to upgrade to whatever version i need, and if it runs better on 64 bit OS then i will go for it.
I run a lot of NI softsyths as well as hardware rack equipment and hardware synths and keys.
I dont want to waste money if next year everyone is dissing 32bit systems.
