No it doesn't, and from previous threads i don't believe there any plans to do so. SME runs quite lean now and I don't think there is any advantage to go to 64bit in this distro.  :P
If you think you know whats going on, you obviously have no idea whats going on!

Your question is a bit vague.

Will SME install/run on 64-bit hardware? - Yes, you can install SME on 64-bit hardware.
Does SME come in a 64-bit version? - No, the advantage with 64-bit is so small (if there is any advantage at all) that the development team has decided not to develop it.
In life, you must either "Push, Pull or Get out of the way!"

I run SME 7.3 on an IBM x346 64bit system

Dual 3.6ghz cpus

4 gig ram

6 x 70 gig scsi on a raid5

Everything runs really well and fast as ... I really don't think that the time and effort needed to convert everything to 64 bit is required.
