I don't think that this would make a difference on 64-bit Windows since at
the moment both the PostGIS and PostgreSQL installer are compiled on 32-bit
platforms and hence produce 32-bit PE format binaries. My guess would be
that the WOW layer will detect this and launch the process as a 32-bit
application until we get around to either compiling or cross-compiling to
Win64 which should then produce a genuine Win64 PE binary.

If you have access to a Win64 machine to try PostgreSQL/PostGIS then please
try this and report back to the list.


Kind regards,

Mark.
