Is there any version of Mikrotik for 64 bit processor ?? I have a 64 bit machine but it is not support mikrotik router os. Does anybody can give me solution about it ??

Mikrotik is not 64bit.
If your CPU supports x86 instructions too, it should work.
64 bits operations are useless in router enviroments
Interesting statement:
Care to expand on that?
Any specific reasons?
I think nowires wants to say that you could probably see no benefit from 64bit processor versus comparable or at least very close 32 bit processor.
Right now, apart from very few specific tasks, i see no reason why a pIII should not face onorably just about any issue you could have on a router.
You could probably run a router on a 16bit cpu 
you don’t need big float operations on a router to actually need 64bit.
Interesting stuff. There’s some good wikipedia articles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD
and though you’re right most of the motivation for CPU vendors making 64bit is floating point, vector operations, there are some additions that might help including integer operations, thread management, bitwise operations, cache and memory management.
SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) is one area.
Personally, I don’t know whether it would help. I’m not a coder.

I think the more precise question should be 32bit Linux kernel vs. 64bit Linux kernel
