Will these plugins work with S8.5PE and Windows 7 64bit?

I am ready to start making music again. Yesterday I ordered the upgrade from S7PE to S8.5PE and also Windows 7 64 bit. Up to now (well, up to a year and a half ago) I've been making music on Vista 32 bit. I already found out my hardware (mainly Edirol FA-66) will probably work okay with my new setup. But I am not too sure about my various plugins... I wonder if they will work with 1. Sonar 8.5 PE, 2. Windows 7 and 3. 64 bit...! So I wonder if any of you use the same plugins and if they work or not. Maybe I need to upgrade a few of them (of possible).

1. MusicLab RealStrat
2. MusicLab RealGuitar 2L
3. Guitar Rig 3
4. GPO (the version with the NI-player, so not the new one with the Aria-engine)
5. Jamstix 2

Will these all work fine with S8.5PE and W7 64bit, or do I need upgrades, if possible, like GR 4 and GPO4: I don't really need GR4 because all GR3 options are fine with me (I already regretted getting the GR3 upgrade from G2, which was also well enough for me), but maybe I need it in order to get everything working with S8.5PE and W7 64bit. The same goes for GPO, although I do wonder if the new Aria engine is better/easier/?

About Jamstix 2: even though it has lots of possibilities, I always found working with it very hard and not intuitive... so I am thinking about getting EZ Drummer plus the Nashville addon: for that combo I of course have the same question: will it work out of the box with my new setup?

    Guitar Rig 3 works fine on my install of 8.5.1PE x64 on Win7x64 home premium.

    Can't say about the other stuff in the list though.

    Sonar VS-100
    phenom 9600 x4
    Win 7 x64 Home Prem

    While Windows 7 adds another dimension I think the main issues is will the 32 bit plugins work in Sonar 64. There is quite a bit od discussion here.

    Exactly, go to each web site of each plugin and see if it supports 64bit windows

    Guitar Rig 3 has a 64-bit version as well as 32-bit (latest update, I think). I had to do a bit of tweaking when I set it to "configure as synth" (it disappeared, and I had to hunt it down in the registry and change the parameter manually--I don't know if this will even occur in Win7 RTM) so I could use a midi track with it as I am used to.
