Maybe someone else will chime in with a better explanation.
Of course, W7 64bit is still unsupported by Avid though...

are you sure about this?
can you point us to a reference?
my gut tells me that this is not the case. the OS would have to intelligently and dynamically allocate all of that RAM to the various 32 Bit apps, without them knowing what was going on, "blindfolded" as such.
with an app like PTHD, which is more than just a high-level app, including hardware, drivers, etc., i just don't see how this would work without PT getting upset about
something, if you know what i mean.
i have no reference, let alone proof of this, it is merely a "gut" hypothesis. please prove me wrong!
