I'm coming late to this thread, but we have no plans for a 64-bit EVE Client. The EVE Universe Server is 64-bit because we need access to the extra memory but there is only need for a 64-bit EVE Client once we need more than 3 GB on Windows XP / Windows Vista 32 or 4 GB on Windows Vista/7/8 64. Otherwise refer to the replies from Tippia, they were all quite good.

Explorer I understand what you say, however my EVE client often crashes when it goes beyond the 2GB threshold, so it is being limited by a more legacy limit, care to give some insight about this? Without logs and crash dumps then I can't comment. Have you filed bug reports when this happens? That would enable us to look at the problem.

EVE's server has been 64-bit since September 2008. If I may refer you to my devblog at the time: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/eve64/

When you running 3 clients.......................  If you run multiple clients then each has its own addressable memory space.

YOUR OWN WORDS PROVE YOU WRONG, CCP EXPLORER.
The server is 64-bit and the DB is 64-bit. What is needed to have 64-bit is 64-bit.
The client is 32-bit since we need to support Windows XP, there is overhead in having two clients, some of the middleware is only available as 32-bit and there is no reason to have the client as 64-bit.

Today's devblog, New system requirements for EVE (feedback thread), might be of interest to the readers of this thread.
