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

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.

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.
