I run it on Win 7 x64 with 8GB Q9650@3GHz Nvidia 9600GT 512, the performance issues I have seems to be with the GFX card. I have not tried SH5 on a 32 bit system, but other games I have show very little difference from 32 to 64 bit. FSX runs a little better, but not much. Again I think the GFX card is the bottleneck on my system, so I may not be able to see bigger benefits from going to x64.
Concur my latest build with Win 7 Pro 64 bit is a dream machine with a great OS. I thought I would never leave Win XP Pro but I am glad i did.

AMD Phenom II 955 BE Rev. C
Nividia 9800GT
8 gigs of ram
