PT Native is PT software (Industry Standard) with a card that does some of the things a true TDM/HDX system can do, and you dont need a native card to open a PT session on a different type system so I dont know where the "Native is not standard" is coming from or what the point of that statement is. It does offer some lower monitoring option (lower hardware buffer) while recording with plugins (like I said monitoring a vocal verb while recording the dry vocal signal so the singer gets to hear themselves with some verb or compression and or gates as plug-ins (not being recorded but inserted for listening) on the drums/percussion).... Native does offer lower latency times while tracking...
However TDM and HDX systems are really what you want... not sure if they even make a farm render card for Cubase or any other of the DAW's on the market.
The bottom line is If you cannot afford a true (Low Latency) Pro Tools rig, than maybe another DAW is better for you... Pro Tools have more user options and configuration options than any other DAW out there and they keep adding more/new features.
The 32 bit mode is irrelevant unless your using a lot of RTAS/VST/VI and in that case you aren't going to have low latency monitoring even at 64 bit. Sure when PT goes 64 bit you will be able to have more VI/RTAS/VST's running and probably be able to run them at a lower latency/buffer setting, but the power is in the farm rendering cards.
