    Above descriptions worked on my computer, but still miss some minor parts.
I summarized the whole processes and put the missing parts.


**Install following Applications on X86 PC:
Install ArcView GIS 3.3 --> D:\ESRI\
Install ArcView Spatial Extension 2.0 --> D:\ESRI\

[To install the SWAT watershed model]
Install AVSWAT2005 --> D:\AVSWATX\

[Fix WindowsXP issues]
Install ArcViewGISPatch4WinXP.EXE (download from ESRI website)


**Copy following folders to X64-bit PC:
c:\program files\common files\esri --> E:\program files (X86)\common files\esri
D:\ESRI\AV_GIS30 --> D:\ESRI\AV_GIS30
D:\ESRI\ESRIDATA --> D:\ESRI\ESRIDATA
C:\WINDOWS\Crystal --> E:\WINDOWS\Crystal
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ESRI*.ttf --> D:\Temp (for future use)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ESRI\ArcView GIS 3.3
--> E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ESRI\ArcView GIS 3.3
D:\AVSWATX\ --> D:\AVSWATX\ (in case you install AVSWATX)


**open a command mode (DOS) window, register following components:

(1) navigate to c:\program files\common files\esri
type: regsvr32 mo20.ocx

(2) Navigate to D:\ESRI\AV_GIS30\ARCVIEW\BIN32
type: regsvr32 esrimbvwf.dll (for spatial Extension)
type: regsvr32 Tsx6gx30.ocx (for spatial Extension?)
type: regsvr32 Tsx6vw30.dll (for spatial Extension?)

(3) navigate to [Control Panel] -> [Fonts]
Install the following fonts which copy from the x86 machine
esri_1.ttf
esri_2.ttf
esri_3.ttf
esri_4.ttf
esri_5.ttf
esri_6.ttf
esri_7.ttf
esri_8.ttf
esri_9.ttf
esri_155.ttf

(4) Export all the registry under the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI]
on X86 and merge them into X64-bit PC. The attachements are the examples applied on my computer. (save the attached .txt files as .reg files, and double click on them to register.)

(5) If you install AVSWATX watershed model on your computer, you need to also apply 'swat.reg'

[Note] The registry on 64-bit Windows is slight different than 32-bit Windows:

BTW, one of the reasons to use the 64-bit OS with Arcview GIS 3.x is intend to use more than 2 GB memory for arcview. Another way to do so is modifing your boot.ini with /3GB option and modify your arcview.exe with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option.

[Example]
NOTE: No Warranty for the following steps. It may have different results depend on your computer setting. However, It can run on my computer !!


[Boot.ini]
[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /fastdetect /3GB /Userva=2900
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn


[Modify arcview.exe for 3GB Memory]
1. Create a backup copy of arcview.exe.
2. Obtain a copy of editbin.exe. (It is included in MSVS2005 or free MSVS2005 Express)
3. Open the Visual Studio 2005 command line.
4. Run the command "editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE "D:\ESRI\AV_GIS30\ARCVIEW\BIN32\arcview.exe"
5. Launch arcview.exe
