There are a lot more things under the hood than just compiling i386 binaries on amd64 and hoping (magically) stuff will just work. If you want amd64 support you'll have to contact nVidia and get them to compile / release a driver for the amd64 architecture. amd64 introduces a lot of new interesting things to the mix in terms of library locations, primitive type length, etc that can't be resolved necessarily by just "hoping" it'll compile ;). -Garrett
