No at the moment only a i386 version is released, the development resources are very limited, both in development as in time. perhaps with proper funding things like this might become possible.

Why? In what way/ways do you think a 64 bit version would be superior?

Not my question - but .. I just installed 4 GB of RAM into my SME 7.3 and it worked without a problem.

It is more than I need, but I am just courious ..

Is there a known upper limit for how much memory the 32 bit version can use/address ?

(I had expected the 4 GB installation to give problems, but it didn't :-)

If you can afford a machine that can then yes  :D, because SME Server 7.x is based on CentOS 4.x we can support what ever CentOS supports, have a look here too:
