Joannes,
You can also run win32 applications on Win64.
Win32 executables will run in win32 subsystem of win64,
like as win16 executables in win16 subsystem of win32.
FB is not a HW driver so, there is no problem.
You can easly move your 1.5x databases to >FB2.x (32 or 64 bits)
with backup restore operation whenever it released.
We have been using here FB 1.5.3 on an AMD64 3000+ machine with
windows server 2003 x64 OS for a long time.
