PHPEclipse is still x86 as well ... I have no plans to move to PDT any 
time soon as I know most of the PHPEclipse code quite well now!
Along with a couple of other SQL packages. I tried the x86_64 build but 
could not install the other bits that I use successfully on the 64 bit 
version on Linux ... not enough hours to waste even more time fixing 
side issues, so I switched to what I was told DID work, and it's doing 
what I need.
