Saj-khan: You will need a 64-bit Java implementation, and the 64-bit version of the tomcat.exe wrapper program in the bin directory. Last I checked, the tomcatw.exe program is still 32-bit, as it only has to manipulate the registry.
If you are also using the APR protocol for your connectors, you will need the 64-bit version of the native libraries. The current tomcat installer will automatically install the correct bit-version of these components for the operating system you are running under. Please note that if you install tomcat onto a 64-bit OS, you must have a 64-bit version of Java. It cannot run a 32-bit JVM.
