Hi, I thought I would just jump in on this as I am running an i7 as well. I use hmisc for the doBy functions and it would make a huge difference particularly with large data sets to run this on 64bit windows. I'm not sure how to compile from source and usually use the install.packages option. At the moment I have two versions of R installed and switch between them depending on what I'm working with. Having an hmisc package for 64bit windows would really help.
