win 7 64 bit with Sonar 32 bit

Looks like it's time for a new daw. I have a couple of questions. If I run windows 7 64 bit, can I still run sonar 32 bit?
I have a couple of plugins that don't support 64 bit yet. Also my interface is a motu 896hd. Does anyone have any experience with their 64 bit drivers?
I use a mackie MCU. Anyone have any experience with this unit under win 7?
If I run sonar 32 bit with win 7 64 do I still get the benefit of 8 gb of ram?
Thanks in advance for any help..

    That's the way I run it.  I really dont like the wrapper 64 puts around my VST plugs, and like you I have a couple that are still not 64 bit. 
     
    EDIT, no it will not use the full 8G of mem, 32 bit is still limited.
