About 18 months worth of pain as the first wave of people on the bleeding edge work out all the bugs...
Seriously though, while there is hardware around which will drive all this stuff in native 64-bit mode, you are probably better served waiting. Any $ you spend today on technology will only be worth 50c in 18 months time. That means if you hold onto that $, then the technology will have evolved significantly during that time.
Have a look at some of the work Intel are doing around multi-core CPU architecture which is being delivered from Q1 next year; there is a lot of bang for buck on offer there... My advice is wait.
Running 32-bit Sonar v5 still allows you to realise all the benefits of the 64-bit mixing engine. 64-bit architecture will just make it run faster. The longer you wait, the more gigaflops/second you can buy with your $ when you eventually commit to 64-bit hardware.
