I'm not sure what software supports it, but 2 I'm looking at do; Cubase 3 SX and Sonar 5.

I'm doing a new computer build and am trying to decide whether to go with Windows XP x64. I'm nervous about drivers. The computer will be strictly for recording.
 
What audio interface do you have or are you planning on getting? It's easy enough to find out on the web if there are 64-bit drivers for all your hardware.

If it means anything, from what I've read on the Cakewalk forums, you don't have to run 64-bit windows to take advantage of the 64-bit audio engine in Sonar 5. I don't know any more details than that, though. Oh, but Sonar 5 ships with a regular version and the 64-bit windows version, IIRC.

I am in the same boat as you - curious about running 64 bit windows. I've been running 64-bit Linux(Fedora 4) on my server for a while now, and I have had no issues with that. But i'm a little more cautious with my everyday-use/DAW pc. I sure don't want to spend $150 on XP64 only to find I have major issues running a piece of hardware or software I need to use every day.
 
I'm very interested in this question as well. Since aardvark went belly up (no drivers) it looks like I would have to upgrade my soundcard and recording software along with x64, if I do it. I wonder if it's really worth it?

I might also hold out untill the new window's OS (forget the name) comes out untill I start thinking about upgrades.
