Generally there isn't much advantage in a 64 bit build and it uses more
memory.  What is more important is that all the interfaces work
correctly.  There were problems with the "open with Vim" menu when using
32 bit Vim on a 64 bit windows, but I believe that's solved.

I don't have time to maintain a Windows build myself.  So far the Cream
version was a good second choice for users who want a recent Vim.
Including the required .dll files makes installing a Vim with many
features a lot simpler.  Perhaps I should add a link to this version on
the vim download page?

​I used to maintain https://code.google.com/p/vim-win3264/, but I've stopped updating it as (a) it's been several years since I switched over to Macs and (b) there are very few cases where you *need* a 64-bit Vim. Best to concentrate on getting a really good, comprehensive 32-bit build.
