[PD] will 64bit Pd solve large table indexing issue?

[Christof Ressi]

"64-bit $APP" traditionally means: $APP compiled for a 64-bit 
architecture. In that sense, Pd has already been 64-bit for a couple of 
yours, unless you're running a 32-bit OS or use 32-bit legacy builds.

Now, I guess what you actually mean is single-precision vs. 
double-precision, but this is completely unrelated to CPU architeture.

64-bit Pd -> Pd compiled for a 64-bit architecture.

double precision Pd -> Pd that internally uses double precision floating 
point numbers for audio computation and messages.

no, but double precision Pd does!
