Arena 2.5 Beta...what about 64 bit version?

[Hagen]

I downloaded the new Arena beta...but it doesn't answer my question about whether or not it will accept say...64 bit versions of Stockfish, etc? Can I set up 64 bit versions of chess engines in this release? And for that matter...can I do this with the other chess engine software programs like Chessbase or Shredder Classic? Or would I need 64 bit versions of those apps to take advantage of this ability?

Why don't you try it and report us back?

I am already using 64 bit versions of many engines like Deep Rybka, Houdini, Ivanhoe etc...
