Would have bought a few of these ages ago if they had 64 bit drivers.
I haven't used a 32 bit commodity hardware based machine since 2005, been running 64 bit everything (HW and SW) since the AMD x2 came out then.

Bear in mind different versions of Windows have different RAM upper limits. How densely you can physically pack memory into the system is dependent on the hardware itself, based on the largest sized ram modules the hardware supports and how many RAM slots there are. 4 GB is the cap for all 32 bit variants for Windows itself. Having say 32 GB of RAM on a machine running x86 (32 bit) version of windows you'll only ever see 4 GB of it. Trying to force 32 bit drivers to run under x64 OS's generally doesn't work too well, though I would be curious if anyone has tried it with the Catweasel drivers.

If source was available for the drivers so someone could port them to 64bit and other os's, that would have a lot of people real, real interested. Like I said, I would buy a couple of the things if 64 bit drivers (or the source) was available.
