Big IBM POWER3 machines, like the 44P and the S7A, S70, S80 are all 64bit
machines.
We do not however.. run on them.
As for the original poster.. I have found the alpha port to be exceptionally
stable. I'm currently running 1.4, with a huge slew of RAID and ccd striped
disks on it.. running cross-compiles nightly like mad, serving NFS every which
way, and it pretty much never crashes.. Even my multia had 200+ day uptimes.
Other things.. such as a MIPS64 port.. and ppc64.. are likely not to be
available fast enough for your work, and if they are.. it will take awhile to
stabilize enough for you.
