Manufacturers of professional graphics hardware are certainly aware or
their CAD customers and provide win64 drivers.  Otherwise you need
network drivers and you are good to go on a CAD workstation.

Yes.  I see questions about win64 every week in the Autodesk Inventor
discussion group.  Unfortunately, the answer is always: No, but at
least it will get up to 4 GB of memory.  You will get a similar answer
if yo ask about multicores.  And the really sad thing is that this is
even true for the upcomming release.

If only software vendors would accept Linux as a platform...  Life
would already be much better.
