I am pretty sure this is because the version of Python is actually 32-bit.  Your extensions need to match the "bitness" of the Python installation, not Windows itself.

Side note, on 64-bit operating systems, 32-bit code usually runs faster.  For example, the 32-bit Java VM is usually a lot faster than the same code on a 64-bit one.

I'm very sure of this, so I'm going to close this, but please re-open if that is not the case.
