I would ask in the Borland BDE forum about running on Windows 64 in 32
bit mode.

I did load up Firebird about 6 months ago and it did run, but I didn't
do any stress testing
at the time.

I will be switching over my laptop to Win 64 XP over the new years
break. If you
do test it, please report back your findings (on Firebird).
